About Almond

An almond is the edible kernel of the almond tree's stone fruit, usually sold with its thin brown skin, blanched, or split from the shell. It is used whole, sliced, slivered, chopped, or ground in pastries, breads, confections, salads, stuffings, sauces, and savoury dishes.

Almonds have a firm, crisp texture when raw or dried, a mild buttery flavour, and a pale interior that darkens when toasted or roasted. Skin retention changes the outer appearance, while grinding produces a meal or paste rather than an intact kernel.

Almonds are sold whole, sliced, slivered, chopped, ground, or pressed for oil, and are also processed into meals, pastes, and other culinary forms. These treatments change texture and determine how the ingredient functions in sweet and savoury dishes.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.

Portions & preparation

Specify whether the edible almond kernel is whole, sliced, slivered, blanched, roasted, salted, sugared, or incorporated into another recipe. Preparation changes texture and added ingredients, while the practical portion depends on whether almonds are eaten alone, used as a topping, or dispersed through a dish.

Compare the right form: Match the reference to almond kernels with the recorded state: whole or cut, skin-on or blanched, raw or roasted, and seasoned or plain.

Diet considerations

Almonds are plant-derived tree-nut kernels. Compatibility changes when they are coated with flour, sugar, chocolate, dairy, or animal-derived ingredients, or mixed with other nuts and cereal products. Roasting, salting, and flavoring alter the prepared food, so assess the exact product and portion rather than assuming the plain kernel form.
