THE THREE STAGES

Stage 1 (April 5-18 approx.): Almond nutlet is in the gelatinous state and has a texture similar to a grape. The outside hull is covered in a peach-like fuzz. Many prefer green almonds at this stage when eaten whole.

Stage 2 (April 19-May 9 approx.): The nut is half developed, and it is partially in its gel state. Green almonds will now need to be cut open with a paring knife to slit open the fuzzy outer hull.

Stage 3 (May 10-June 1 approx.): Once the fuzzy hull has been removed, it will reveal an ivory colored solid, pliable, tender nutlet. Green almonds will have a smooth, creamy texture and slight nutty flavor. It is great on salads.

Green Almonds are a delicious delicacy, popular in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, as well as with chefs around the world who use them as both an ingredient and a garnish. They range from a soft, gelatinous consistency, to a firmer feel depending on the almond's stage of growth.

Green Almonds are available for a short period of time (typically about 1 1/2 to 2 months) from approximately April to the middle of May. The first few weeks cover the early stage (gelatinous), while the later weeks provide the late stage (firm).

As mother nature has her own timeline, we cannot pinpoint the exact date when they will change from early stage to late and there may be some mixture of product in a middle couple of weeks. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]

The best and most reliable

I’ve been purchasing green almonds from S&J for 5 years now and I’ve been so happy with each purchase. I’ve also started gifting them to friends and family and they get so excited when they receive the package. High quality and delicious!

Great snack, great quality

If you are new to these, these are the stage of almond before it becomes a hard nut in a shell. So you can eat the whole thing, shell and all, during the earlier stage. It’s like a pickle but dry, tangy, and earthy, like wheat grass a bit. In summary, an amazing flavor! Must try! For those who know these and crave them every year when they are in season, these guys honestly offer some of the best quality almonds. Always crisp, crunchy and fresh. There are my go to every year!
