Like peanuts, almonds are not a true nut but are close to the drupes of the Plum family. Almonds have a delicate nutty taste, an oblong shape and plenty of useful properties.
Many traditions are associated with almonds. In Switzerland, people cook a Christmas cake with just one almond nut inside. Whoever finds it will have good luck for the whole year.
In ancient Egypt, only pharaohs could enjoy almonds; in modern Portugal and Spain, there is even a holiday dedicated to almonds.
Almonds are a great source of protein. They contain as much as lean meat (up to 30%). It is a high-quality, digestible protein.
