Directly sourced from the farms of our farmers in the Steppe Plateau, made up of the regions of northern Granada, northern Almería, and northwest Murcia, we offer you our natural, organic regenerative sweet almonds. The shelling is done by mechanical means and the screening through the latest technology on the market so that only the highest quality almonds prevail for the enjoyment of our customers. Through a thorough screening process, we are able to discard any bitter almonds that may be present upon reception, keeping the percentage within the lowest in the market so you can enjoy sweet almonds without a bitter taste. Our regenerative organic almonds contain, among other vitamins and minerals, an abundance of vitamin E compared to other non-organic and even organic, but not regenerative, almond oils. Among the benefits of Vitamin E, we can find: - Great power to combat the appearance and development of cancer cells. - Reduces the risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases due to its anticoagulant action. - Slows down aging. - Improves the health of our eyes. - Participates in the formation of red blood cells. - Reduces chronic inflammation. - Maintains healthy and strong hair, skin, and nails. - Prevents Parkinson's disease. - Improves healing. - Prevents dementia and cognitive decline. - Promotes the proper functioning of the nervous system. - Improves memory and learning. - Contributes to good muscle function and improves performance and recovery after physical activity. These regenerative organic almonds come from the Soil and Landscape Restoration project supported by the Alvelal Association and the Commonland Foundation. Hence its "regenerative" label, which is due to the special practices used to care for the crops, making them stand out from the rest and reflecting in the quality and taste of the final product. Therefore, we believe it is important to be reflected in their denomination. Our farmers were already within the framework of organic agriculture and, for some years now, in 2016, they have been adding the knowledge acquired through training and supervision by the Alvelal Association in regenerative practices. The farmers who formed the Almendrehesa society relied on this differential base of applying regenerative practices in their daily lives and, thus, producing not only organic almonds but regenerative organic almonds of soil and landscape. These practices implemented through the 4 returns operational group are the ones that ensure a fertile future for the next generations, those who aim to and are succeeding in keeping the soil nutrients and generating a native ecosystem biodiversity specific to the area. The applied practices include: - Creating vegetative cover with native species chosen specifically to support that particular soil and its characteristics, within the framework of the ecosystem in which it is located. - Oasis creation by building natural ponds for rainwater collection. - Whales to capture water near trees and retain it. - Only necessary plowing. - Planting windbreak hedges to attract pollinators. - Planting aromatic herbs. - Inclusion of bee panels. - Inclusion of extensive livestock on the farms. - Inclusion of green manure, pruning shredding, and addition to the soil. - Creating infiltration ditches. - Etc.
