True nuts, like hazelnuts and chestnuts, are the fruit of a nut tree. Almonds are only the seed of the fruit, which is called a drupe. A drupe is a grey-green velvety fruit that hangs off an almond tree.

Almonds are incredibly versatile. They can be enjoyed as a snack or used as an ingredient. Their unique flavour and nutrient profile makes them a delicious and healthy addition to any recipe rich in Vitamin E, magnesium and good fats.
