Almonds are real all-rounders. Whether whole, ground, chopped, roasted or salted – they come to the table in a wide variety of variations. In our Kölln Oat Granola Honey-Nut we use sliced almonds with their typical cinnamon-brown skin. They not only give the muesli an extra crunch, but also a slightly sweet and nutty flavour.
This is how the almond harvest works
Almond peak season is from the end of August to mid-October. To make harvesting easier, the trees receive less water a few weeks beforehand – this means the fruits dry out better and are easier to shake from the tree. Shaking machines take over the job and remove the almonds from the tree as soon as the pulp bursts.
By the way: our almonds come from California, the largest almond-growing region in the world. A whopping 75 % of the global harvest comes from there.
