The almond is closely related to the plum, peach and apricot. The almond is a lozenge-shaped nut with a pale, biscuit-coloured pitted shell. The nut itself is pale yellow with dark tan, papery skin. There are two types: bitter almonds, containing Prussic acid, and sweet almonds. Of these, Jordan and Alicante almonds are thought to be the finest.
