Raw Almond

Description

Description

Raw almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), typically consumed with their brown skin and without any roasting or added flavoring. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crunchy texture. Unlike roasted or salted almonds, raw almonds are in their most natural state, retaining the maximum amount of nutrients and enzymes (though their digestibility can increase when soaked or sprouted).
