Amygdalae amar. Sem., whole bitter almonds, conventional cultivation

Botanically, bitter almonds come from the almond tree (Prunus amygdalus) within the rose family (Rosaceae). They differ from sweet almonds in their higher content of bitter substances, especially amygdalin, which can be converted into hydrocyanic acid when crushed. The hard, woody shells enclose the elliptical, brown seeds, which are botanically considered stone fruits.

Historically, bitter almonds have been documented in Mediterranean regions since ancient times. They were mentioned in Roman and Arabic sources as a remedy, flavoring agent, and ingredient in desserts. They are also mentioned in European herbal and culinary history of the Middle Ages, especially for medicinal preparations and liqueurs.

Caution! Consumption of raw almonds is hazardous to health!
