Directly sourced from the farms of our farmers in the Steppe Plateau, consisting of the regions of northern Granada, northern Almeria, and northwest Murcia, we offer you our natural, organic regenerative sweet almonds. The shelling is done by mechanical means and screening through the latest market technology so that the highest quality almonds prevail for the enjoyment of our customers. Through a detailed analysis, we manage 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 any bitterness. Our regenerative organic almonds contain, among other vitamins and minerals, an abundance of vitamin E compared to other non-organic and even organic but non-regenerative almond oils. The benefits of Vitamin E include: - Great power to combat the appearance and development of cancer cells. - Reduces the risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases due to its anticoagulant action. - Delays aging. - Improves eye health. - 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 proper nervous system function. - Improves memory and learning. - Contributes to proper 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 their "regenerative" surname, which is due to the special practices used to care for the crops that make them stand out from the rest and are reflected 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, since 2016, have been incorporating 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 what ensure a fertile future for the next generations, aiming to maintain soil nutrients and generate biodiversity to create a native ecosystem in the area. The applied practices include: - Creation of vegetative cover with native and specially chosen species to support that particular soil and its characteristics. - Oasification through the creation of natural ponds for rainwater collection. - Whales to capture water near the trees and retain it. - Minimal plowing. - Planting windbreak hedges to attract pollinators. - Planting aromatic herbs. - Inclusion of bee panels. - Inclusion of extensive livestock in the farms. - Inclusion of green manure, pruning shredding, and addition to the soil. - Creation of infiltration trenches. - And more.
