A lot of people assume almonds are “healthy no matter what,” but the way they’re grown actually matters more than most realize.

Conventional almond farming relies on pesticides and other chemicals that affect the almonds themselves. In addition, conventional farming methods can negatively impact soil health and nutrient density of the crop. Organic almonds are grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and are produced with an emphasis on soil balance, biodiversity, and long-term orchard health. This packs the almonds with lots of nutrients!

At Handy Farms, we believe what goes into the soil matters just as much as what comes out of it. That’s why we focus on regenerative practices that support healthier orchards and more nutrient-conscious food from the start.

Green walnuts and green almonds are in season! These are a seasonal treat that are only around for a month or two, so don't wait to order yours.

But what even is a green nut? A green nut is a nut that's harvested early in the season when they're still young and tender. At this stage, the nuts are packed with vibrant flavors and have a crisp texture that makes them a joy to snack on. When they're picked before full maturity, they are a bright green color and have a fresher, more aromatic taste.

Try out our green almond hummus recipe! This is a bright, tangy, and creamy twist on traditional hummus using early-harvest green almonds. See the recipe below!
For more flavor variations, or to order organic green almonds from Handy Farms, visit our blog: https://handyfarms.com/green-almond-hummus-recipe/

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh green almonds
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons tahini
3–4 tablespoons lemon juice (adjust to taste)
2–3 tablespoons filtered water (only as needed)
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup fresh parsley, stems removed
½ cup fresh cilantro, stems removed
½ small jalapeño, seeded (optional)

Instructions:
1. Add the green almonds directly into a food processor. Blend for 30–60 seconds until they begin to break down into a coarse paste.
2. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cumin, parsley, cilantro, and jalapeño. Blend until the mixture starts to come together.
3. With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time only if needed. Green almonds already contain natural moisture, so a little goes a long way.
5. Scrape down the sides and blend again until the hummus is creamy and well combined.
6. Chill for 30-60 minutes, then serve with fresh veggies, your favorite crackers or chips, over salads or rice bowls, or spread onto sandwiches.

Green almonds are truly a seasonal treat. Harvested early in the almond growing cycle, these young almonds are picked before the shell hardens and while the outer hull is still soft, green, and edible.

Unlike traditional mature almonds, green almonds offer a completely different texture and flavor experience. They're fresh, crisp, and lightly tart. Because they are only available for a short time each year, they are considered a seasonal delicacy enjoyed in both culinary and farm-to-table circles.
