Category/Nuts/Almonds
The category Almonds describes are the edible seeds of the almond tree (Prunus amygdalus). There are many varieties, like Marcona, Nonpareil, etc.
Almonds grow with the outer hull. Once removed an inner shell remains (Unshelled almonds), which can be removed in turn (Shelled almonds). Shelled almonds still have a dark sheetcoat, which can be removed as well (Blanched almonds).
Both shelled and blanched almonds can be roasted (with oil or dry) and/or salted.
The category contains 3650 products on 26 November 2024.

Issues
- Should the Dried fruits be a parent? In some languages they seem to do that.
- There are some possible new categories with very few products at the moment. There might be more products, but there is no way to track them down. These will be kept in the hierarchy, but commented out:
- de:Mandelstifte
- de:Mandelscheiben
- fr:Amandes hachées
- Bitter Almonds
- Sweet almonds
- Unshelled almonds
- Almond meal is a bit strange. Normally these are call Ground almonds or Almond powders. These are linked to Nut flours. Not sure why this is useful.
- The category Almonds should be called Unflavoured almonds. The approach is now that any almond with some flavour is moved to Flavoured almonds. At some stage we can do some renaming.
