Grown in southern Australia on a family farm, these are the most delicious almonds we have ever tried. These almonds are a sweet varietal called "nonpareil" and unlike European varietals, these nuts have absolutely no bitterness. They are naturally crunchy and sweet, which makes them a perfect snacking nut.
These nuts are not certified organic but they are grown without any insecticides/pesticides using organic principles. We really appreciate the work, and the care, that Jarrad and his family put into the choices of how they farm the land, using permaculture, regenerative practices which make for a great home for the bees and other animals to co-exist.
These almonds are gluten, peanut, and soy free.

People often shy away from the fat content of nuts but the fat in nuts is the kind your body needs. They are essential to your brain's proper functioning, for healthy skin and a plethora of the body's functions. Having a high quality fat in your meal also discourages overeating as fat triggers satiety (low fat foods do the opposite - you often still feel hungry). These high quality monounsaturated fats are also excellent for heart health and lowering LDL (bad cholesterol).
Almonds have more of the antioxidant vitamin E than any other nut which can boost the body's defences against illness.
