Raw
whole nuts are
generally cut open
at processing units using larger sheller machines. Smaller nut
sheller equipment or hand held pliers usually are being used for
domestic uses.
Here are
some serving tips:
- Almonds
can be enjoyed
either on their
own or salted or sweetened.
- They
are nutty yet
pleasantly sweet in taste. Sweetened almond milk is a quite popular
drink in Indian and other south Asian countries.
- Most
sought after among nuts in
various rice dishes and curry preparations in Middle-East region.
- The
nuts are often
sprinkled over desserts, particularly sundaes and other ice cream based
recipes.
- They
are widely used in
confectionery, as an addition to cookies, biscuits, sweets, and cakes.
- The
nuts are also used to
make almond-butter, which is popular in peanut
allergy sufferers.
Safety
profile
Almond nut allergy, although
not so common as other tree
nut allergies like
cashew,
pistachio
etc, may
cause hypersensitivity cross-reactions in some
people to food
substances prepared using the nuts. The type and severity of symptoms
may vary and may include vomiting, diarrhea, pain
abdomen, swelling of lips, and throat leading to breathing difficulty,
and chest congestion. Therefore, caution should be exercised in those
with nut allergic syndrome while using food preparations that contain
nut products.
