Source
Almonds (scientific name: Amygdalus Communis Vas) are the seeds of the Rosaceae family's almond tree. They can be classified into sweet almonds and bitter almonds, containing primarily Apricot Kernel Protein, fat, sugar, and trace amounts of amygdalin in bitter almonds. The main fatty acids in almond fat are oleic acid and linoleic acid.
Almond fruits grow on short spurs and have an unripe appearance. When the fruit ripens, its green shell cracks open, revealing the kernel enclosed in a rough shell. The kernel is yellow and has many small holes, while the shell is hard and woody. Almond fruits are flat ovoid with one rounded end and one pointed end, covered by brown thin skin. The kernel contains 20% protein and no starch. After grinding and pressing, the extracted oil accounts for approximately half of its original weight. Almond oil is light yellow in color and, although it lacks fragrance, it has the ability to soften the skin and enhance its beauty.
