Almonds

Almonds are one of the world's most favorite nuts. Over 1.2 million metric tons of these nuts are consumed by almond snack lovers each year. It's no wonder that they are so popular because they are among the healthiest nuts for us to consume. There are actually two varieties of almond nuts, sweet and bitter. While bitter ones are frequently used in baking or in beauty aids, sweet almonds are used in all kinds of cooking and baking.
