The almond (Prunus dulcis) nuts is mainly grown in the Mediterranean region, the USA, Australia and China, but originated in the Middle East (Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.) where it still grows naturally.

Almonds are used to make products that are as good for health as they are for beauty:
almond butter,
almond oil,
almond milk and
almond nutritional cream.

Consumption: how many almonds you can eat depends on your digestive capacity. Appetite and digestive capacity are more important than the recommended amount. However, as almonds (and other nuts) are high in calories, fat and difficult to digest, this should be taken into account. Almonds should be soaked in water and peeled before eating. Soaking and shelling helps the almonds to absorb nutrients better. Almonds already shelled are also available.

Attention! In general, it is not recommended to eat more than a handful of almonds/nuts per day. It should also be noted that nuts should be consumed like any other food, after eating a certain amount take a break. Constant snacking can lead to gastrointestinal upsets, leading to toxins building up in the body and possible negative health consequences.
