Almonds of modern varieties are grown on the farm, mostly 'Vairo', 'Constantí' and 'Marinada', which are well adapted to soil and weather conditions and provide good results in quantity, texture and taste quality. The varieties are not mixed for sale. Each container homogeneously comprises at least 95% of the same variety.
Almonds in the kitchen
"Put a handful of almonds in your life to enjoy more health," is a phrase we say when talking about this nut. The almond trees, very present in the semi-arid landscapes of the Mediterranean, make that their fruits are very present as well in the culinary culture of this area and, therefore, in the famous "Mediterranean diet".
Almonds are a true source of nutrients and have many applications in cuisine. Not only do they serve to make desserts, they are also welcome at breakfast or as a snack, combined with bread or wine, and to prepare various sauces. Lately they have also found their place as a substitute for animal milks in vegan diets.
What nutritionists say about almonds
A handful of almonds, which would be twelve to fifteen, have a caloric value similar to that of a glass of whole cow's milk. About 50% of the weight of almonds are fats, most of which are healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. They are also rich in protein, soluble fiber, calcium, magnesium and vitamin E.
