Extended data

When American almond entered the China market, its name was "American Almond", but it was just American almond. Later, in order to correct the misunderstanding of the public, the management department required all almond products to be called Almond. "American almond" is an informal name that is not allowed to be used in food packaging.

In addition to the almond produced in the United States, it is also produced in Xinjiang, China, and there have been many studies on "almond" in China's scientific community, which refers to almond. The quality is as excellent as most fruits in Xinjiang, and the high-quality Xinjiang almond is a gift from the local natural environment.

There are few almonds planted outside Xinjiang in China. They all eat real almonds, which are heart-shaped and can be divided into sweet almonds and bitter almonds. Sweet almonds are non-toxic and are snacks with high nutritional value like almonds. Bitter almond is poisonous, so it is used in traditional Chinese medicine. The so-called almond that can moisten the lungs and relieve cough is bitter almond.

Therefore, the nutritional value of almonds in China is no different from that of almonds in the United States. No matter the vitamin content or fatty acid composition, they are very similar, which can be regarded as nut snacks with nutritional value.
