Description:

The almond (Prunus amygdalus, syn. Prunus dulcis) is a species of tree from the genus Prunus. Along with the peach, it is classified in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed, which is not a true nut. Shelling almonds refers to removing the shell to reveal the seed. Almonds are sold shelled or unshelled. Blanched almonds are shelled almonds that have been treated with hot water to soften the seedcoat, which is then removed to reveal the white embryo. Once almonds are cleaned and processed, they can be stored for around a year if kept refrigerated; at higher temperatures they will become rancid more quickly. Almonds are used in many cuisines, often featuring prominently in desserts, such as marzipan. Almond oil, extracted from the nut of the almond tree, is known for its numerous health benefits, particularly for skin, hair, and overall well-being. Rich in vitamins A, B, and E, protein, and monounsaturated fats, it nourishes the body, supports heart health by maintaining blood pressure, and boosts good cholesterol levels. Almond oil is also widely used in baby massage due to its gentle, non-allergenic properties. It\'s ideal for moisturizing the skin and improving absorption without clogging pores.
