“I placed my order in the afternoon on a Thursday. Within two hours I had a confirmation email of a tracking number that my order was going out that evening. WOW!! This is my second time ordering from NutsOnline. The service is efficient and all the products I've ordered have been fresh and yummy!! The almonds are the best tasting I have ever had. The variety of products is awesome. There is something for everyone.”

— Richard, Boulder, CO July 1st, 2009

The almond is a beautiful, medium sized tree of the rose family. It has close relations and resembles the peach, plum and apricot.

Similar to the peach, the almond consists of the edible seed, surrounded by a hard outer shell. When reaching maturity, the hull splits open. If dried, the nut can be easily separated from the shell.

The sweet delicious meat of a peach is consumed while the pit containing the peach seed is discarded. To the contrary, an almond pit is saved and the thin fibrous outer flesh is discarded. The almond pit containing the delicious edible seed inside is the nut of commerce.

The round-crowned almond tree can typically grow in heights of twenty to thirty feet. The actual wood of the tree tends to be harder and stronger than that of a peach tree and also lives longer. The bark of the tree is a dark shade of gray and the branches are wide and spreading. The borders of the sword like leaves are toothed finely.

Almonds are grouped into two primary categories: sweet and bitter. There are of course some varieties that fall in between but the sweet and bitter are the primary kinds used. The sweet almond is grown for its edible nuts. Bitter almonds are used mostly for cooking and cosmetics. The bitter oil is used as a flavoring in foods and as an ingredient in many cosmetic skin preparations. On the contrary, sweet almonds are delicious and healthful. These are also used for smoked almonds.
