Almonds are oval-shaped and come with a hard shell. They are usually sold shelled and either raw or roasted. They have a mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor. Almonds can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, similar to other tree nuts. Like cashews, almonds contain oxalates, which can affect individuals prone to kidney stones. Almonds are a highly nutritious and versatile food that can be incorporated into a variety of diets and culinary applications, offering numerous health benefits.
