About Almonds
Almonds, or badam, are eaten soaked and peeled in the morning, slivered over kheer or ground into badam milk.
- Soaking adds water to the kernel but nothing else; the ten-almond line uses USDA's single-almond weight.
- Roasted and salted almonds have slightly different values from these raw kernels.
