ALMONDS

       :: There are two sorts of almonds, the bitter almond and the sweet almond.

       Bitter almonds are used to make almond oil, which is used in many baking

       recipes to add an intense almond flavour. Sweet almonds are among the most

       commonly used nuts. Ground sweet almonds are especially useful in baking and

       can be substituted for flour to create a dense, moist texture in cakes and

       biscuits. They are also used in savoury dishes – ground almonds thicken romesco

       sauce and add texture and flavour to chicken korma ::
