Almonds
Almonds are part of a botanical masquerade, as they’re not true nuts but members of the ‘drupe’ fruit family. This classification is due to their growth pattern and their close relationship with roses. When almond trees are ready for harvest, they are adorned with beautiful white blossoms.
Despite their popularity, almonds pose certain environmental challenges. They require specific climatic conditions to grow and are particularly water-intensive. As a result, the environmental impact of cultivating almonds can be considerable, making their production a topic of ecological debate.
