Frequently Asked Questions About Green Almond (Raw)
What are green almonds?
Green almonds are immature almonds picked before their outer hull dries and the familiar hard nut fully develops. Their tender, juicy fruit is eaten fresh, and they are especially associated with spring markets and Mediterranean cooking.
How do you eat green almonds?
Wash green almonds and eat them fresh while they are tender. Very young ones can be eaten whole; as they mature and the inner shell firms up, split the fruit and eat the soft developing kernel.
What do green almonds taste like?
Green almonds taste fresh, tart and slightly astringent, with a mild almond flavor. They are much juicier and less rich than mature dried almonds, which is why they are often eaten with a little salt.
When are green almonds in season?
Green almonds are a spring fruit, harvested before almonds ripen. Their brief season varies with the local climate, so they may appear earlier in warmer regions and later where spring arrives more slowly.
Can you eat green almonds raw?
Yes, green almonds are commonly eaten raw. Rinse them well under running water first, then eat them while tender; the fruit becomes less pleasant to eat whole as its inner shell hardens.
How are green almonds different from regular almonds?
Green almonds are the fresh, immature fruit, while regular almonds are the mature kernels harvested after the fruit dries. Green almonds are juicy and tart; dried almonds are firm, concentrated in flavor and easy to store.
Which parts of green almonds can you eat?
When green almonds are very young, their tender green fruit and soft inner shell can be eaten together. If the inner shell has started to harden, open the fruit and eat the developing kernel instead.
How should you store green almonds?
Keep green almonds refrigerated in a breathable bag or container and eat them while they are fresh. Wash them just before eating rather than before storage, since trapped moisture can make the fruit spoil faster.
Can you pickle green almonds?
Yes, green almonds can be pickled. Their naturally tart flavor and firm texture work well in brine; use clean, intact fruit and keep it submerged so it pickles evenly.
Are green almonds good for you?
Green almonds can be part of a nutritious diet and provide fiber, but they are not nutritionally identical to mature almonds. Their main distinction is that they are a fresh, seasonal fruit eaten before the nut fully develops.

What is Green Almond (Raw)?
Raw green almonds are immature almonds picked while their outer hulls are still green and the kernels are soft. A springtime specialty across parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East, they have a crisp, juicy bite and a pleasantly tart, grassy flavour. Depending on their size and tenderness, you can eat them whole or split them to reach the tender kernel.
They’re often eaten fresh with a little salt, added to salads, or served alongside other seasonal snacks; in some places, they’re also pickled. Their mild flavour works well with herbs, lemon and olive oil. At 48 calories per 100 g, they make a light snack; enjoy them plain or pair them with something more filling if you want a heartier bite.
