ALMSMOKE-5

Description:

Almonds are the fruit of a deciduous tree grown primarily in California as well as the Mediterranean, Australia, and South Africa. Instead of growing a sweet fleshy pulp around the seed, Almonds develop a leathery covering. Below this shell is a hardened pit with dark skin, much like the pit from a freestone peach. Almonds come in two varieties, sweet and bitter. The bitter almond contains a toxic amount of prussic acid, which can be further refined into a poison called cyanide. The prussic acid must be leached out of the bitter almonds before they can be consumed. When the bitter Almond is heated the toxicity is destroyed. The other type of Almond is the Sweet Almond. With a delicate and slightly sweet flavor, these Almonds can be processed into essential oils or extracts or used in ice creams, puddings, desserts, and garnishes. Almonds have a crunchy texture and delicate flavor that enhances desserts, candy, ice cream, tortes, and more! Available both blanched and unblanched. Almonds are respected worldwide for their nutritious value. Almonds are high in fiber, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, Vitamin E, calcium, and monounsaturated fat, which help lower harmful cholesterol. Almonds have appeared throughout history as a highly valued asset; Persian rugs had their image woven into them, Van Gogh painted their likeness, Romans sculpted their form from stone and the early blooms of the Almond have appeared in art, music, and literature as symbols of hope and beauty. Hickory Smoked Almonds have a delicate, smoky flavor.
