Raw Organic Almonds

Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree, native to the Middle East and South Asia. They are typically grown in Mediterranean climates and harvested in late summer. Raw almonds are simply the whole, unprocessed seeds, often with their brown skin intact.

Almonds are used whole, sliced, or as almond butter in a wide variety of foods. They add a nutty flavor, crunchy texture, and nutritional value. You'll find them in baked goods, snack bars, cereals, desserts, and as a dairy-free milk alternative.

Almonds are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for general use in food. They are a good source of fiber, healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated almonds and their components. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption could lead to weight gain due to their calorie density.
