The almond is actually the kernel of the stone of the almond fruit, which is native to North Africa and West Asia. Today it is mainly grown in Europe in subtropical areas. It grows up to 5 metres high and produces a beautiful pink flower. It is related to apricots and peaches. When you crack open an apricot stone, you will find a seed that looks like an almond and can even be eaten. One tree can produce up to 60 kg of almonds.
