The taste of almonds ranges from sweet to bitter; both are readily available in the markets, and stores. While the sweet nuts are edible, the bitter ones are processed into cooking oil. They can also serve as recipes or ingredients in meals and snacks, such as salads, casseroles, and other dishes.

Although small in size, this dry fruit has enormous nutritional values; whether eaten raw or roasted, sliced or processed into flour or butter. Almond nuts contain a lot of important vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. They are also very rich in healthy fats, fibre, calories and antioxidants.
