Although originally native to many countries in the Middle East, the United States is the world’s top almond producer. With the United States almond production being based almost exclusively in California it is also the states top agricultural export. It is California’s third leading agricultural product and through exports alone almonds create over one billion dollars in revenue each year. Spain, Australia, Tunisia, Morocco, and Chile are the world’s other notable almond producers. Almonds have become gained notoriety for their nutritional value and are often called the most nutrient dense tree nut. Almonds are a great source of vitamin E and contain very low levels of saturated fat.
