Home›Dishes›Main Ingredient›AlmondIngredientAlmondNuts and SeedsReference and ClassificationVerifiedThe almond is a species of tree in the genus Prunus, classified together with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from other Prunus subgenera by corrugations on the woody shell surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a drupe consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell enclosing the seed, which is not a true nut, and almonds are sold both shelled and unshelled; blanched almonds are unshelled almonds treated with hot water to soften and remove the outer skin, revealing the white kernel beneath. Once cleaned and processed, almonds can be stored for around a year if refrigerated, spoiling faster at higher temperatures, and they are widely used across many cuisines.FactsAlmondConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsEarliest Documented Use, From (Year)Well-attestedSourced to the subject's own account3000 BCE to 2000 BCE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedSourced to the subject's own accountThe Levant 1ClassificationAllergenWell-attestedSourced to the subject's own accountTree Nuts 1AlmondFilter Results12 entriesDish FamilyAllConfections and Candies (1)Desserts and Sweet Puddings (1)European Breads and Pastries (5)Middle Eastern and North African Breads and Pastries (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)North American Breads and Pastries (1)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)CuisineAllAlgerian Cuisine (1)American Cuisine (1)Cuban Cuisine (1)French Cuisine (2)Galician Cuisine (1)Icelandic Cuisine (1)Indian Cuisine (1)Italian Cuisine (1)Lebanese Cuisine (1)Pakistani Cuisine (1)Spanish Cuisine (1)Swedish Cuisine (1)Swiss Cuisine (1)Tunisian Cuisine (1)Era (Origin Period)All1200 (1)1800 (1)1924 (1)TraditionAllCacao Fermentation and Chocolate Making (1)Cheesemaking (1)Christmas Feast Traditions (3)Funeral and Memorial Foods (1)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Wedding Feast Traditions (2)Format/TypeAllConfections and Candies (1)Desserts and Sweet Puddings (1)European Breads and Pastries (5)Middle Eastern and North African Breads and Pastries (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)North American Breads and Pastries (1)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)CourseAllDessert (6)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (3)Contains Meat or Poultry (1)Origin RegionAllFrance (2)Iceland (1)India (2)Italy (2)Lebanon (1)Spain (1)Sweden (1)Switzerland (1)The Maghreb (1)The Mediterranean (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12Basler LäckerliAlmondBlancmangeAlmondCountry CaptainAlmondGazelle anklesAlmondMeghliAlmondMustacciuoliAlmondOstkakaAlmondPithivierAlmondTarta de SantiagoAlmondTurrónAlmondVínartertaAlmondZardaAlmondConnectionsAssociated WithAlmond Oil, Ingredients Well-attested Carries AllergenTree Nuts, Ingredients Well-attested Used ByAmaretto, Drinks Well-attested Basler Läckerli, Dishes Well-attested Source Basler Lackerli (Wikipedia)Blancmange, Dishes Well-attested Source Blancmange (Wikipedia)Country Captain, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia, Country CaptainGazelle ankles, Dishes Well-attested Source Gazelle ankles (Wikipedia)Meghli, Dishes Well-attested Source Meghli (Wikipedia)Mustacciuoli, Dishes Well-attested Source Mustacciuoli (Wikipedia)Ostkaka, Dishes Well-attested Source Ostkaka (Wikipedia)Pithivier, Dishes Well-attested Source Pithivier (Wikipedia)Tarta de Santiago, Dishes Well-attested Source Tarta de Santiago (Wikipedia)Turrón, Dishes Well-attested Source Turrón (Wikipedia)Vínarterta, Dishes Well-attested Source Vinarterta (Wikipedia)Zarda, Dishes Well-attested Source Zarda (food) (Wikipedia)In the Other AtlasesOriginated InThe LevantAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Almond (Wikipedia)tier 3Sources1.
