80% of almonds in the world are produced in California, USA, and also planted in Xinjiang, China. At first, China's almonds were mostly imported from the United States, and were called American almonds. It was not until later that it was discovered that almonds produced in Xinjiang were the same as those produced in the United States. Therefore, in order to prevent confusion, the state stipulates that all almonds, whether imported or native, are called "almonds".

Almond is the name of Xinjiang Uyghur language, named after Bospadam. Its fruit is called almond, which is a peach tree of Rosaceae and a world-famous woody oil tree and dried fruit tree. Almond is an ancient cultivated species in the world, which evolved from wild species. Almond has been cultivated in China for more than 1300 years, and there are 7 species, 10 varieties distributed in China. China's large-scale production of almonds is mainly concentrated in the Hotan area of Kashgar, Xinjiang, with 3 species, 5 varieties and more than 40 varieties (lines). Its total output ranks first among the four dried fruits in Xinjiang for many years, and its quality exceeds that of foreign varieties. Almond has high nutritional value and is a rare nourishing product, which is known as "holy fruit". More than 60% of Uygur medicine formulas contain it, and it can also be used as a raw material for a variety of processed foods.
