About Sweet almond

Sweet almonds are the edible seeds of the sweet-almond type, sold with or without their thin brown skins. They are firm and crunchy when raw, with a mild, nutty flavour; roasting makes them drier and more aromatic.

They are eaten whole or chopped and are also sold sliced, slivered, ground, or as meal. Almond butter and almond flour are further processed forms, not interchangeable with whole almonds in texture or use.
