Description
Almonds (badam) are a globally popular “tree nut” (botanically, they are drupes or seeds) known for their nutritional benefits, mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavor, and crunchy texture. 
Appearance: They are typically sold with their hard outer shell removed, revealing an off-white or cream-colored seed covered by a thin, light brown, edible skin (pellicle).
Varieties: Common varieties include the large, flat California almonds and the smaller, more irregular, oil-rich Mamra and Gurbandi almonds, often sourced from the Middle East and South Asia.
“Pure” designation: The term “pure” often emphasizes that the almonds are natural, free from artificial additives, preservatives, or chemical treatments, preserving their natural oils and rich nutrient profile, as is often the case with organically sourced badam varieties.
