Frequently Asked Questions About Almond fruit
Can you eat almond fruit?
Yes, young almond fruit is edible. The juicy outer flesh can be eaten while it is still tender; as the fruit matures, that outer layer dries and the familiar almond develops inside its shell.
What does almond fruit taste like?
Young almond fruit tastes crisp and mildly tart, sometimes with a subtle almond-like note from the developing kernel. Its flavor and texture change as it matures, and the outer flesh becomes dry rather than juicy.
Is almond fruit the same as an almond?
No. Almond fruit is the whole fruit produced by the tree, including its fleshy outer layer and the shell around the seed. The almond people usually eat is the seed inside that shell.
When is almond fruit in season?
Almond fruit appears after almond trees flower, with young fruit available in spring in many growing regions. The exact season varies with local climate, and the tender stage is brief before the outer flesh dries.
Can you eat the skin of almond fruit?
Yes, the tender outer flesh of young almond fruit is commonly eaten without peeling. Rinse it well first; once the fruit matures and its outer covering dries or toughens, it is no longer pleasant to eat.
How do you store fresh almond fruit?
Keep fresh almond fruit unwashed in the refrigerator and rinse it just before eating. A breathable container helps limit trapped moisture; discard fruit that becomes moldy or unusually soft.
Can almond fruit be eaten raw?
Yes, young almond fruit is often eaten raw after rinsing. Its fleshy outer part is juicy and tart, while the hard shell is not eaten; the kernel inside is a separate part.
Can you cook with almond fruit?
Yes, young almond fruit can be added to cooked dishes, though it is more often eaten fresh. Its tartness can suit salads, pickles, or savory preparations; remove any hard shell before using the kernel.
Can you freeze almond fruit?
Yes, but freezing softens almond fruit once it thaws. Wash and dry the fruit thoroughly before freezing it in a sealed container, then use thawed pieces in cooked dishes rather than expecting a fresh, crisp texture.
Is almond fruit nutritious?
Yes, almond fruit offers some fiber and vitamin C along with its juicy flesh. It can be part of a varied diet, but it is not a special treatment or prevention for any health condition.

What is Almond fruit?
Almond fruit is the fleshy outer covering that grows around the almond kernel—not the familiar dried almond people buy as a nut. Picked young, it is usually green, juicy and gently tart; its texture and flavour vary with the variety and stage of growth. The tender immature fruit is eaten in parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East, where almond trees are widely grown.
In season, people often snack on it raw, sometimes with a little salt; outside its growing regions it may turn up in specialty markets. It is low in fat and provides modest amounts of fibre and vitamin C. At 52 calories per 100 g, it makes a light snack; enjoy it plain or alongside other fresh fruit, and go easy on added salt.
