goingreen serious oooo

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.
