Haven't Eaten Green Almonds in Years!!

One of the foods my Arab roommate introduced me to, in our university years, was green almonds.


Early in the spring, when the almond tree begins to produce fruit (the almond nut) - before the nut ripens and the shell gets hard, it is green and fuzzy... and edible!

If memory serves me right, you wash them and eat them as they are. I think they are eaten with salt. Sprinkle some salt in the palm of your hand, dip the green nut in, then eat it.





It has an interesting taste that some people love. But beware - eating too many at once (like eating green apples) can cause an upset stomach!
