almond
Oval pale nut
An almond is the edible seed of a tree related to peaches and plums, enclosed in a hard shell within a leathery hull.
Almonds are eaten whole, ground into flour, or pressed for oil and milk.
The pale tan color of blanched almonds gives its name to the shade: almond walls, almond-shaped eyes.
Bitter almonds contain compounds that yield cyanide and are used only for flavoring extracts.
