It belongs to the Rosaceae family group and its wood stands out for its hardness.<\/p>\n<p>The almond is the fruit of this tree.  It is a <strong>drupe<\/strong>: a fruit that has a unique <strong>seed<\/strong>, a <strong>endocarp<\/strong> woody structure and a <strong>mesocarp<\/strong> meaty type.<\/p>\n<p>Oblong in shape, the almond has a hard shell that cannot be eaten.  The edible part is the <strong>seed<\/strong>, which is covered by a <strong>movie<\/strong> cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p>Almonds provide <strong>fibers<\/strong>, <strong>protein<\/strong>, <strong>potassium<\/strong>, <strong>match<\/strong>, <strong>calcium<\/strong>, <strong>iron<\/strong>, <strong>magnesium<\/strong>, <strong>vitamin B1<\/strong>, <strong>vitamin B2<\/strong> Y <strong>folic acid<\/strong>, among other minerals and nutrients.  Its consumption helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and contributes to the strengthening of the <strong>bones<\/strong>, teeth, skin and hair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USA<\/strong> is the main producer of almonds at the level <strong>world<\/strong>.

The <strong>Marzipan<\/strong>, for example, it is a paste that is produced with ground almonds and sugar.  Many almonds are also made <strong>nougat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The call <strong>almond milk<\/strong>, meanwhile, it is made with almond paste or ground almonds mixed with <strong>Water<\/strong>.
