Toasted, raw, or sprinkled with hickory smoke, salt or cinnamon, the almond is one of the world’s most popular nuts. Except, it isn’t a nut at all! It’s a drupe, a stone fruit related to the cherry, peach, and plum. Its original Latin name means “tonsil plum”. Aren’t you glad it was changed? Quirky names aside, almonds add a sweet nuttiness to tagines, salads, and it’s a nutritious snack. Just 12 to 24 almonds provide substantial manganese, calcium, vitamin E, potassium, and benefit hair, skin, and nails. Almond Oolong: it’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Blended With Oolong Tea & Natural Almond Flavor
Almonds are mentioned as far back in history as the Bible. They were a prized ingredient in bread served to Egypt’s pharaohs. Their exact ancestry is unknown, but almonds are thought to have originated in China and Central Asia. Explorers ate almonds while traveling the Silk Road between Asia and the Mediterranean. In the 18th Century, aided by the Franciscan monks, the almond tree made a leap to California, where it found a hospitable home. A large almond industry is now based in the Sacramento area.
