Almond In Shell

the variety of shelled almonds we supply are well known for its purity, taste and nutritional value. Almonds are the single-seeded, plum-sized stone fruits of the almond tree (rosaceae family). The stone fruit encloses a kernel, the actual almond, which is approx. 2 cm long and covered in a light brown seed coat. The seed coat contains antioxidants which protect the oil-rich almonds from penetration by atmospheric oxygen so preventing them from becoming rancid (oxidative rancidity).
