Almond
An oval, tan-colored nut harvested from a tree that is connected to the rose family. Almonds are obtainable as either a bitter or as a sweet flavoured type of nut. The bitter nut should be cooked in order to remove a naturally happening toxin, so they are not inspired raw, but instead are processed for almond oil or almond extract. It is the sweet almond that is the nut normally available to be served as snacks or added to salads, entrees, side dishes, baked goods, ice cream and desserts. There are a variety of almonds available in both different types and forms.
