In particular, almonds have the highest nutritional value, and the most popular are American almonds. They are grown mostly in the world in California, USA with a proportion of up to 80%.

Here are 3 tips, to help you easily identify the above 2 types of almonds:

3 distinguishing factors:

•  Color: American imported almonds are bright yellow, shiny, and even in color, with a thin, glossy shell. While Chinese almonds have a dark, uneven color, the skin is not as shiny as American almonds.
• Particle size: American almond kernels are small, evenly seeded, with a thin, glossy shell. Chinese almonds are roughly the same size as American almonds. However, the low-gloss, duller outer shell is not as bright as American almonds.

• Seed quality: American almonds when eaten are crunchy, fragrant, sweet, and greasy. Imported products have clear origins, and product philosophies, and are strictly inspected. Chinese almonds have a dark color, uneven fruit size, often dry kernels, not very good taste, not much flesh, and are sold with unknown packaging.

What is being said here, because of high profits, many businesses despite selling poor quality, non-originating products, are flooding the market. In particular, not only the poor product quality but also the preservation process before the seeds are released to the market is alarming for the health of consumers.
