Whole natural almonds, 120 g, unsalted, Palestinian product

The almond blossom is considered one of the distinctive signs of the arrival of spring in Palestine, eagerly awaited by Palestinians as they anticipate the ripening of almonds, which they consume in various ways; eating them sweet or salty, yet in both cases, almonds are a source of livelihood for ordinary people, especially rural women, who carefully pick and gather them to sell in cities, coming from their villages and towns.

This simple agricultural product is cherished by both the poor and the wealthy, who agree that it is a seasonal product abundant in markets for a short period, then quickly disappears, leaving its sweetness and saltiness as memories.

Almonds are the second agricultural crop in Palestine after olives, providing farmers with annual income, and are cultivated in mountainous areas of Palestine, such as the mountains of Nablus, Tulkarem, Jerusalem, and Hebron. Almond trees can withstand drought and require little care, although they are susceptible to pests when ripe and to insects when young plants. Almond blossoms are distinguished by their beauty and splendor with their carnation color that quickly turns into tender and crispy almonds.

Green almonds are high in nutritional value, so they are eaten as snacks after being dipped in salt or without it, cooked with yogurt, or served cooked with white rice, and they are also pickled, following the example of green thyme. All these various ways of using them are simply a way to ensure the benefit from their high nutritional value, as they contain a high percentage of vitamin A and magnesium.
