Mamra Almonds (Prunus dulcis var. Mamra)
Mamra almonds are a special type of almond primarily grown in regions of Iran, Afghanistan, and some parts of India, especially in Kashmir. They are distinct from regular California almonds due to their:
-
Shape and Size: Thicker, shorter, and more irregular in shape compared to the more uniform California almonds.
-
Texture and Taste: Crunchier with a rich, buttery flavor. They’re considered to be more nutrient-dense and tastier.
-
Oil Content: Higher natural oil content, making them richer and often more aromatic.
-
Health Benefits: Packed with healthy fats, vitamin E, protein, fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants. They’re said to support brain function, heart health, and skin radiance.
-
Price: Usually more expensive due to limited cultivation and high demand.
Mamra almonds are often soaked overnight and eaten in the morning for maximum health benefits.
