Almonds Come in Many Forms

Almond butter is available in a wide variety of flavors and options - from blanched and unsalted, to roasted and paired with dried fruits, spices and more. Almond butter is a delightful ingredient and stand-alone product; it can be swirled into smoothies, yogurts and enjoyed on its own, or used as an ingredient in baked goods, sauces and fillings.

Green almonds - or almonds that are picked before the hulls and shells are fully formed - are a culinary delicacy with a fresh, grassy flavor and a jelly-like texture. Green almonds can be pickled with a hot vinegar broth or peeled and enjoyed with a bit of sea salt.
