Green almonds are primarily eaten by cutting them open and extracting the soft, gelatinous embryonic almond found inside.
Understanding Green Almonds
Green almonds are essentially raw almonds, characterized by their unique velvety outer texture. While the entire green almond, including its outer shell, is fully edible, many people choose to avoid consuming the shell due to its slightly bitter taste.
The Eating Process
Eating green almonds is a straightforward process focused on accessing the delicate inner kernel.
- Cut Open the Shell: The first step involves carefully cutting open the velvety green outer shell of the almond.
- Extract the Embryonic Almond: Once opened, you will find a soft, gelatinous embryonic almond nestled in the center.
- Enjoy: This tender, nascent almond is then popped out and eaten, offering a unique texture and flavor distinct from mature almonds.
