California Almonds
California almonds are the nuts harvested from almond trees primarily grown in California, which produces about 80% of the world's almonds. These nuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamins, making them a nutritious snack and ingredient. California's climate—with hot, dry summers and mild winters—provides ideal conditions for almond cultivation. The industry involves careful orchard management, water use, and sustainable practices to meet global demand. Almonds are harvested in late summer through mechanical shaking, then processed for various uses, including snacking, baking, and almond-based products.
