almonds
Almonds are oval shaped "nuts" that grow on the almond tree.
Technically though, almonds aren't nuts, but they are drupes. Drupes are defined as fruits that have an outer fleshy part that surround a shell of hardened endocarp with a seed inside. Besides the almond, cherries, peaches and plums are examples of drupes.
Almonds are commonly sold already removed from the shell.
Blanched almonds are defined as shelled almonds that have been treated with hot water to soften the seedcoat, which is then removed to reveal the white embryo. However, raw foodists feel that "blanched almonds" should be redefined. There is no need to use "heat" to soften the seedcoat, because almonds soaked over night will allow easy blanching. Almonds are highly nutritious and heat is said to destroy some of that nutrition.
Almonds are a staple in a raw foodists diet. Raw foodists who avoid dairy, commonly use almonds to make almond milk.
You'll find bloggers talking about almonds at sites like Raw Food Blogspot and Vegan Soapbox.
