The Almond: Candy’s Most Versatile Ingredient
It’s impossible to discuss candy without bringing up the almond. It appears in everything from candy bars to nougats. Surprisingly, the almond isn’t actually a nut - it’s a drupe, which is a type of fruit. Its cousins are other fruits such as the peach, cherry, apricot and plum. Regardless, people have been enjoying the almond for thousands of years – samples eaten in 10,000 BCE were found in the Franchthi Cave of Greece. Learn more about this amazing nut-fruit-whatever
