Cosmos Natural Sweet Almond Oil - 500 ml

○ Latin name: Prunus amygdalus dulcis The sweet almond is the fruit of the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), a fruit tree native to the Middle East and belonging to the Rosaceae family. The almond tree is a deciduous tree that grows up to 10 to 12 meters in height and produces pink or white flowers in early spring. The fruits are woody-shelled drupes that contain an edible seed, the kernel. The almond is a nut with a seed surrounded by a hard, woody shell. The almond seed is protected by a brown skin which must be removed before consumption. Sweet almond oil is extracted from almonds by cold pressing. ֍ In the Middle Ages, extracting sweet almonds was a long and tedious process, requiring hours of manual labor to remove the bitter skin from the almonds. This is why sweet almonds were considered a luxury ingredient and reserved for special occasions. Today, thanks to modern technology, sweet almond extraction has become much faster and more efficient, and sweet almonds have become a common ingredient in everyday cooking.
