Almonds (Organic)

  • A great healthy snack. Good to use for alternatives to dairy. Great to add to muesli and granola or stirfrys’s and salads.

    Spanish almonds have a sweeter more buttery flavour unlike the typical California almond - we noticed the flavour difference as soon as we tried our first batch of Spanish almonds- delicious!

    Recipes

  • Allergen: Nuts

    A source of healthy fats, fibre, protein, magnesium and vitamin E.

    Have you tried activating your almonds? Activating increases the bioavailability of nutrients. To activate soak your almonds for 7-12 hrs in cold water and then rinse. They can then be used to make milks, creams etc or be dehydrated in a low temp oven or roasted for snacking and using in cooking.

  • Spain. Delivered to our supplier in Dundee via land and delivered to us in Cornwall via land.

  • We decided to source organic almonds from Spain after reading about how water and pesticide intensive growing almonds can be.

    The pesticides used on almond trees pose a risk to the bees that pollinate them. In 2018-19 over 50 billion bees were wiped out in the almond industry. Choosing organic means no harmful chemicals are used to grow our almonds.

    It takes over 3 litres of water to grow a single almond and almond trees must be watered year round. Most almonds are grown in California where climate change has already led to almost permanent drought in the area. By choosing Spanish almonds we’re buying from an area that is less affected by drought and also from smaller scale farms.

    Remember almonds are still resources heavy so treat them as a treat!
