OT: Green Almonds (Luz)

[trobby]

Most people won't be too familiar with them, but I know there's a few Middle Eastern posters on here.

Does anyone know if they are in stock yet? If so, where?

Not sure if they have them yet but I usually get them at farmboy....My aunt has trees full of them in Italy and every time I go, I can't get enough.

Always been curious about these. How do you eat them?

Crack open the fuzzy shell and peel off the skin of the almond

I thought you could eat the whole thing?

There is a little grocery shop, owned by an Iranian, on Main Street, that has a bunch of nuts and stuff like that. Not sure if they have those, but they might

Yeap they're in stock. My sister bought some yesterday, asked her from where and she said from the Middle East on Bank St. I'm not sure if they're in stock in other stores yet though, you can always check farmboy.

You can, some people don't like the outer shell and only eat the inside. Some add salt and eat it as a whole. Guess it really just depends on the individual (or the season as to when they're picked/eaten)

Thanks for the responses.

Found them at Mid-East store on Belfast for $10.99/kg.

$27 later, I'll be eating like a king this weekend!

My roommate Farmboy manager just said they only get them in the summer.

..aaand I just noticed you found them already.

You should pick yourself up some Fayrouz to wash them down!
