Almond processing

Edible seeds of the almond tree, a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family standing at about five metres, the almond (prunus dulci) is enclosed in a protective woody shell.

For centuries, it has been a key part of the Mediterranean diet - the almond is actually originally from Asia and is today recognised as a traditional Italian agri-food product.

There are several varieties of almonds but the best known and most valuable are those grown in southern Italy, such as those from Puglia and Sicily.

Almonds, in addition to being very tasty, are also rich in beneficial properties, have a laxative and purifying action on the intestine thanks to the presence of certain fibres, that act on the nervous system - relieving stress and fatigue and calming any inflammation with their natural magnesium.

Rich in vitamins and minerals, almond seeds are effective in preserving and maintaining healthy arteries, hearts and bones.

The presence of potassium helps to keep blood pressure levels low, lowering cholesterol levels with their moderate amount of sodium.

In addition, almonds aid beauty by counteracting free radicals and slowing down the cellular ageing processes.

Spring is the ideal time to enjoy fresh almonds while the dried version is available all year round.
