Overview
Almond Prunus dulcis
Native to south west Asia. There are two types, sugary sweet and bitter. Sugary Sweet almonds are the most familiar edible type for eating nuts, almond meal or almond natural oil. The almond tree is larger compared with the peach, lives longer and is strikingly beautiful when in flower.
he tree grows to 3 7 metres and has pink or white flowers which bloom in spring. The fruit resembles the peach until it approaches maturity, then while it ripens the leathery hull splits open, curls outward and then discharges the nut.
Almonds are the most alkaline of all nuts, that on it's own is a major benefit. Taken regularly, one handful of almonds a day is an optimal way to assure proper nerve functioning, nerve transmission and correct muscular and glandular activity. Almonds are an excellent source of calcium and magnesium.
Leading exporting countries of shelled almonds are United States of Iran, Italy, SpainAmerica, Portugal, and Morocco. Almonds are being harvested in raising amounts in the Murray River region of Victoria and South Australia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there natural oil in the top of the jar?
Melrose nut spreads are made from 100 Percent lightly roasted nuts.
Unlike most peanut butters the natural, healthful oils in Melrose nut spreads are not submitted to hydrogenation. In normal spreads this hydrogenation turns liquid natural oils into solids so that they will not separate out. However hydrogenation also produces trans fatty acids and these have negative health effects.
* Melrose nut spreads contain only natural, healthful oils.
* Melrose Nut spreads contain no hydrogenated Natural Oils.
* Melrose nut spreads contain no trans fats.
When utilising Melrose nut spreads, simply stir in the natural, healthful oils. Do not pour off the natural oil as this will leave you with a dry spread.
Aren't nuts fattening?
Nuts are nutrifying, revitalising health promoting foods and when eaten in moderation have no association with weight gain. Although nuts are generally elevated in fat, this fat is mostly monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat. Nuts also have an elevated fullness value i.e. they make you feel complete for a relatively low kilojoules consumption which may benefit weight loss.
