What do you look for in the perfect snack? Filling, tasty, crunchy, healthy, versatile? almonds hit all those markers beautifully. And yes, almonds.

The intricate flavor of cardamom comes through as citrusy, spicy, piney, minty, and herbal all at once. Its robust complexity makes it perfect for both sweet and savory foods.
