Some countries have strict limits on allowable levels of aflatoxin contamination of almonds and require adequate testing before the nuts can be marketed to their citizens. The European Union, for example, introduced a requirement since 2007 that all almond shipments to the EU be tested for aflatoxin. If aflatoxin does not meet the strict safety regulations, the entire consignment may be reprocessed to eliminate the aflatoxin or it must be destroyed.

The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed, which is not a true nut. Shelling almonds refers to removing the shell to reveal the seed. Almonds are sold shelled or unshelled. Blanched almonds are shelled almonds that have been treated with hot water to soften the seedcoat, which is then removed to reveal the white embryo. Once almonds are cleaned and processed, they can be stored over time. Almonds are used in many cuisines, often featuring prominently in desserts, such as marzipan.Almond extract would be an excellent addition to any cherry pie, peach cobbler, apricot tart, or plum crumble. The word almond comes from Old French almande or alemande, [23] Late Latin amandula, amindula, derived from amygdala from the Ancient Greek amygdálē ( ἀμυγδάλη) [23] [24] (cf. amygdala, an almond-shaped portion of the brain). [25] Late Old English had amygdales, "almonds". [24]

California almonds labeled "raw" must be steam-pasteurized or chemically treated with propylene oxide (PPO). This does not apply to imported almonds [61] or almonds sold from the grower directly to the consumer in small quantities. [62] The treatment also is not required for raw almonds sold for export outside of North America. The Authentic Almond Project". The Cornucopia Institute.
