Toast with a touch of salt, the almond of traditional variety in our territory, the Largueta, couldn't be more delicious. With its thick skin, when toasted, it slightly peels off the seed and with a simple gesture of holding it between your thumb and index finger, and moving them slightly, the skin comes off. Collected in the farms of our farmers in the Steppe Plateau, located in the north of Granada, Almería, and Northwest of Murcia, these almonds go through their normal shelling process and after this, a handmade toasting process. Through a thorough analysis, we manage to discard the bitter ones that may come from the farms, so we keep the percentage within the lowest in the market and 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 non-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. - Delays 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 proper muscle function and improvement in 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" surname, which is due to the special practices with which the crops are cared for, making them stand out from the rest and reflected in the quality and taste of the final product. Therefore, we believe it is important that this is reflected in their denomination. Our farmers were already within the framework of organic agriculture and for some years now, in 2016, they have been incorporating the knowledge acquired through training and supervision from 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 and are achieving that the soil nutrients remain and that biodiversity generates its own native ecosystem of the area. The applied practices include: - Creation of vegetative cover with native and specially selected species to support that specific soil and its characteristics, within the framework of the ecosystem in which it is located. - Oasisification through the creation of natural pools for collecting rainwater. - Whales to capture water near the trees and retain it. - Minimum necessary plowing. - Planting of windbreak hedges to attract pollinators. - Planting of aromatic herbs. - Inclusion of bee panels. - Inclusion of extensive livestock on the farms. - Inclusion of green manure, pruning shredding, and addition to the soil. - Creation of infiltration ditches. - Etc.
