Almonds, beloved for their delicate flavor and nutritional richness, are primarily grown in countries like the United States, particularly in California, which accounts for the majority of global almond production. Almond trees thrive in warm, Mediterranean-like climates, requiring well-drained soil and ample sunlight.
Harvesting almonds involves shaking the trees to release the nuts, which are then collected, hulled, and dried before being shipped worldwide. Renowned for their health benefits, almonds are rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to heart health, weight management, and improved cognition.
At Origin Bakery, almonds are a versatile ingredient used in various gluten-free products, from our soft almond pound cake, frangipane tarts to almond-studded granola bars. By incorporating almonds into our recipes, we provide our customers with delicious options that not only satisfy their taste buds but also nourish their bodies with the goodness of this nutritious nut.
