Almonds are the fruit of an almond tree, which is small in terms of size. A hard shell contains edible seeds with a distinctive, slightly sweet flavor. Together with different species of nuts, almonds can be served as a snack or used as an ingredient of baked goods and muesli.

Nuts and almonds provide valuable nutrients, so you should eat them both during the periods of increased physical and mental work.
