This is a list of almond foods and dishes, which use
almond as a primary ingredient. The almond is a species of tree native to the
Middle East and
South Asia. "Almond" is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated
seed of this tree. Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the
peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated shell (
endocarp) surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a
drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed (which is not a
true nut) inside.
"Almonds" may also be from Terminalia catappa, a plant commonly called "India almond." They are edible, yet not considered as palatable as the "almonds" from Prunus.
