Nota de aplicación
Species of small deciduous tree native to the Middle East and South Asia, widely cultivated in Europe, east Africa and California. The fruit and oil from the sweet almond variety are used for food while the oil from the bitter almond variety is used for flavoring. Botanically, the fruit of the almond is not a true nut, but a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the edible seed inside. Although the tree is grown commercially for its fruit and oils, the wood is also used. The water soluble gum that exudes from wounds on the tree has been mentioned as a watercolor binder. Almond trees are closely related to cherry trees.
