Almonds are one of the most popular and widely consumed nuts, commonly enjoyed raw or roasted as a healthy, satisfying snack. They are used in trail mixes, granolas, and mueslis, and in savory dishes such as curries. Many desserts from around the world – amaretti, marzipan, nougat, macaroons – use almonds as a primary ingredient. Almonds are also used to create almond milk, a popular dairy substitute.
