But everywhere in the world it's considered a nut. Almonds look a lot like an apricot pit, so the two are quite easy to confuse.
Where do almonds grow? In the modern world the almond is a fairly widespread plant, so you can find it in the USA, in China, and along the shores of the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Almonds grow in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Almonds mostly prefer soils with a high calcium content. Almonds love plenty of light and warmth. The almonds themselves — as fruits — ripen in the middle of summer. By the way, frosts down to minus 25 degrees may not harm almonds, so if you like, almonds can be grown even in temperate regions.
Almonds are rich in carbohydrates, proteins and fats (especially monounsaturated ones). Almonds contain trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium. Almonds boast a high content of B vitamins as well as vitamin E. Bees are also very fond of flowering almonds — it's a honey plant. Almond oil is used in soap making, and expensive soap is made from almonds. Almond essential oil is actively used to enrich many cosmetics and perfumes.
Almonds are eaten lightly toasted, tossed with salt or sugar. Almonds are often added to
chocolate
or baked goods. Almonds often become a component of various liqueurs. The famous activated charcoal, by the way, is made from almond shells. Almonds are very popular in China:
Chinese cuisine
uses almonds heavily, adding them to a wide variety of dishes, including desserts and main meat dishes.
