There are many types of almonds around the world that go under different cultivation systems.
Different Kinds of Almond introduction
Each kind of almond can be considered the best kind; however, the quality of a type of almond mostly depends on its nutritional value.
Although the origin of Mamra almonds is Iran and the Middle East, today, the USA and Spain are the leading producers of almonds globally.
These countries offer the cheapest almonds in different sizes that would attract the eyes of many customers.
Thus, it is common to find these almonds in every corner of the world.
Moreover, due to the fact that these countries have invested enormously
in advertisement and exportation, their types of almonds are more popular.
Factors such as the quality, the amount of investment, the land under cultivation, the technology of cultivation, sorting, and packaging, and the
kind, and quantity of insecticide being used, would affect the price of an almond.
California almonds have become the most economical almonds internationally because California cultivators use large hectares of land with the
newest technology.
However, their quality is way less than those produced in the Middle East and Asia, such as in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
The quality of almonds in the Middle East countries is high, however, due to the fact that they do not use modern agricultural technology, the
production expenditures are expensive.
For example, the Iranian Mamra almond is the best almond in the world in terms of quality, nutritional value, and size; however, they are more
expensive in comparison to California almonds.
Spanish Almond Varieties
There is a wide range of almond varieties within the Spanish borders.
Spanish almonds comprise different shapes, colors, shells, and aromas.
They are also popular for their use in different food recipes.
As mentioned before, Spain has invested enormously in the production of almonds, thus Spanish almonds are the second economic almonds
around the world. They are also trying to expand the market of these almonds internationally and so far have been successful in attracting the
market of North America.
Although the California almond is the dominant kind in the USA, Spanish Almond is finding its place in America’s valuable market, not to
mention Europe’s market.
One of the sweet taste almonds in Spain is Antoneta.
The shape of this type is circle-like, leading toward an oval shape, and its shell is hard. Another type is Belona whose shape is oval-like and
whose shell is also hard.
Although the Constanti is larger than the previous two, however, its shape and shell are round and hard.
Ferragness is another sweet Spanish almond whose shell is less hard than the proceeding ones and whose kernel is larger, and no twins would
be found in their shell.
Garrigues are among the savory taste Spanish almonds with a hard shell and round kernel.
However, it is Marcona that has made the Spanish almonds one of the famous streaks around the world.
Their taste is very spicy, and they are in a beautiful circle-like shape.
These criteria have made them suitable for food recipes and daily snacks.
Best Almond Types
It is hard to decide what different kinds of almonds can be designated as the best almond.
Some might argue that the best kind is the one whose price would be low; some might consider the quality, size, or smell of almonds as their
gauge for judgment.
However, taking into consideration different factors such as composition, size, fragrance, nutritional value, and taste,e it is
hard to compete with Mamra almonds (or its indigenous name Mamra Badam), mainly Iranian Mamra almonds.
Although due to a lack of investment, the price of Mamra almonds has increased enormously, our company is supplying them half of the price of the international market.
One of the advantages of Iranian Mamra is that it would be found in different sizes and packaging which would make them a good rival against their other international namesakes.
Generally, almonds from the Middle East and Asia are among the best almonds in the world.
Unfortunately, the production of Afghanistan Mamra almonds is really scarce which would make their prices higher.
Recent political and economic upheavals have even made their international transaction harder than before.
However, the production of Iranian almonds is increasing, and Iranian farmers are trying to produce them with better quality and on large hectares.
Moreover, alongside the Mamra almonds, Iran is also producing many other types which are of good quality.
Some of these almonds include Rabiee Almond, Sharoudi Almond, and Sangi Almond.
Although all of these almonds are of excellent quality, the taste, size, and fragrance of these almonds are different.
Types of Almond Trees
Almond trees and their types are important factors in measuring the price of almonds.
Some would grow sooner but bloom later, some would grow later but bloom sooner.
Moreover, in terms of space they need, some trees are taller but thinner, and some others are shorter but with wider branches.
Some need a small amount of water, some others would need more percentage of water.
There are some almonds trees that are self-fertile, in contrast, some other ones need to be pollinated by different methods.
Moreover, today, almond trees are also being sold as decoration for private houses because of their beautiful foliage and incredible fragrance.
This fact itself would increase the price of some kinds of almonds.
There are many different kinds and classes of almonds globally.
We have seen that almonds were harvested first in the Middle East but now are being produced in large industrial amounts in the USA and Spain.
We also have seen that Spanish almonds are trying to find their place in the global market alongside the more acceptable California almonds.
Spanish Almond’s new flavors that are spicy and savory are working to their advantage, surpassing the old kinds.
However, Middle Eastern almonds still enjoy being the best almonds internationally.
As mentioned before, our company by having contact with many suppliers around the world, especially in Iran, is capable to provide its customers with the best Mamra almonds and other kinds of almonds.
By providing many services such as transportation, packaging, inspection, and payment our company is trying to make the global trade of almonds easy.
