INTRODUCTION

Almonds originated in the warm desert areas of westerrn Asia, from which they gradually spread to the warm, dry regions of the Mediterranean basin.

The almond is known as the queen of roses. In the middle ages servants included them in royal banquets to assist in the digestion and consequently the indulgence of their masters.
