Almonds are one of the most popular nuts in the world. Almonds are actually not nuts, but rather seeds from the fruit of the almond tree. Almonds are available in three different forms: raw, blanched, and roasted. Raw almonds are often used in raw food recipes and can be used to make almond milk, almond butter, and almond flour. Blanched almonds are almonds that have been peeled and boiled to remove the skins. Blanched almonds are often used in baking. Roasted almonds are almonds that have been toasted or roasted in oil or butter. Roasted almonds are often used in desserts or can be eaten as a snack.
