Organic almonds - mild and multitalented
Almond drinks, almond butter or almond oil: the almond is not only the superstar of vegan cuisine and a healthy snack throughout the day, it's also a real all-rounder used in many lavera Naturkosmetik skincare products. The clear, light yellow oil of the almond is obtained using a process of gentle cold pressing and is particularly rich in valuable nutrients and vitamins. Delicate, mild almond oil has a sweet and nutty scent, protects and cares for your skin and hair, and is especially well tolerated by sensitive skin.
Adored for over 3,000 years
The almond has an astoundingly long history, given that it has been known in Europe for several thousand years. In Greece, almonds were being grown as far back as the fifth century AD, where they were known as the "Greek nut". Almond trees are largely cultivated to the west of Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. The almond tree is presumed to have originated in subtropical China and the Middle East. It grows best in temperate, warm areas, though it can also tolerate cold temperatures (down to -20 degrees). The tree or shrub-like plant belongs to the rose family.
