Almonds are loaded with Vitamin E (via almonds.com), which not only supports the immune system but promotes skin health as well (via Healthline). Vitamin E also helps protect your cells from free radicals created by UV rays, pollution, cigarette smoke, etc. So by eating almonds regularly — the Food and Drug Administration recommends eating 1.5 ounces of almonds per day (via Harvard School of Public Health) — you could be preventing signs and symptoms of aging, such as wrinkles and black spots.
In addition to being a superfood, green almonds are also versatile and easy to cook with (via Saveur). You can add them to a charcuterie board, sprinkle them into a salad, or whip up a flavorful gazpacho (via Food52). You could even add a few green almonds to your favorite ice cream for a crunchy finish. When it comes to green almonds, the possibilities are endless.

So, what makes a green almond any different than a “regular” almond? Green almonds are basically young almonds that have yet to develop into the hardened, brown shells that you usually see in the grocery store (via The Spruce Eats). They’re also a bit fuzzy and have a soft, inner nut. And, as you’ve probably gathered by now, they’re green in color.
