Natural Almonds 

Raw almond is a fantastic food that has been written about since ancient times.

It is mentioned in some of the most renowned historical texts, including the Bible. Almonds were a valuable ingredient in Egyptian bread and were used in baked goods for Egyptian Pharaohs. The exact origin of almonds is unknown, but they are thought to have originated in China, Central Asia, and Northern Africa; before they eventually spread worldwide. Ancient Romans referred to almonds as the "Greek nut" in honor of the Greeks who first cultivated them.

Delicious California Almonds

Traditionally almonds were an excellent source of nourishment for salesmen traveling the “Silk Road” between Asia and the Mediterranean. They did not spoil and could be easily stored for long journeys (much like today). The “Silk Road” helped spread almonds throughout Italy and Spain as more and more almond trees were growing in the Mediterranean. By the 18th century, the Franciscan Padres brought almonds to the United States through California. By the beginning of the 20th century, almonds had flourished as a popular crop in the California Central Valley.

Almonds are hugely popular all over the world for their delicious flavor and nutritional qualities

They can be consumed alone as a healthy snack and are a common ingredient in many household recipes. Almonds are also used in enormous amounts for products manufactured by the food industry. So much so that California almonds’ yield has quadrupled in the last 30 years. Almonds rank as the 7th largest U.S. food export, and over 90 nations import California almonds. Other significant importers include Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, India, and Germany. Germany makes up the largest market for almonds, consuming a whopping 25% of the export crop, followed by Japan at 12%.

Natural, Fresh, Raw California Almonds 

Our delicious almonds are carefully flash-steamed using a natural water-steam process to remove harmful bacteria, bringing you the purest, freshest, tastiest almonds available.

This unique steam process safely sterilizes your almonds on the outside. But on the inside, all the delicious raw nutrition is safely secured within each tasty almond. No chemicals, no additives, and no preservatives. Just pure, fresh, Natural almonds.

New research on almonds proves that eating them whole is the best way to obtain their health benefits. Whole almonds with their skin provide the most nourishing benefits because almond skins' flavonoids pair with almond meat's vitamin E, doubling the antioxidant power. Twenty potent antioxidant flavonoids have been identified in almond skins, which are significant contributors to health benefits derived from other foods, such as the catechins in green tea and naringenin in grapefruit.

Research has found that almonds may support healthy C-reactive protein levels as part of a heart-healthy regimen, a marker of artery-damaging inflammation, as much as statin drugs. Ounce for ounce, almonds are one of the most nutritionally dense nuts. They provide an array of powerful flavonoids and are among the diet's best sources of Vitamin E. A one-ounce, 164-calorie serving of almonds (about a handful) is a source of magnesium, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin E, manganese, and phosphorus. It delivers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and other nutrients as well.

One-quarter cup of almonds contains about 18 grams of fat. Most of this fat (approximately 11 grams) is healthy monounsaturated fat. These are the same health-promoting fats found in olive oil, associated with possibly supporting a healthy cardiovascular system. Almonds appear to support naturally balanced blood sugar levels and help the body's healthy response to free radicals. Our Natural Almonds are a nutritionally abundant and delicious snack.
