Papered Almond, Cut and Polished

These nuts are called "paper" almonds precisely because their shell is very thin and can be easily opened with your fingers. There are no huge industrial almond plantations in Central Asia; all the nuts are collected in small home gardens.

Many who try almonds in shells immediately note the difference in taste, compared to imported (Californian) almonds, which can be bought at the market or in any supermarket.

Homemade "paper" almonds have a sweet, rich taste. The hot sun and dry climate help almonds grow sweet and rich in nutrients.

It is believed that almonds have the lowest fat content among nuts, for which they have earned the reputation of a healthy snack, which is approved by all nutritionists. And also - almonds are one of the sweetest types of nuts, which is why they are valued in cooking, and are so loved by adults and children!
