About Nuts, almond paste
Almonds (Prunus dulcis) are the edible seeds of a tree related to peaches and apricots, and one of the most popular nuts in the world, with California growing the lion's share. Sold raw, roasted, salted, slivered, sliced, or blanched, they have a mild, buttery flavor and a satisfying crunch. Almonds are a nutrient-dense snack, rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium, so a small handful goes a long way.
Beyond eating them out of hand, almonds are ground into flour for gluten-free and grain-free baking, pressed into creamy almond butter, and blended into dairy-free almond milk. They also show up in granola, trail mix, pastries, and confections like marzipan and almond brittle, and slivered almonds add crunch to salads and green beans. Choose plump, unbroken nuts that smell sweet rather than sharp or rancid, and store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, or refrigerate or freeze them to keep their oils fresh for months.
