(Almonds) Almonds grow on a medium sized tree that is related to the peach,
and like the peach, the almond tree produces beautiful pink or pinkish-white
flowers. The almond tree is native to the Mediterranean, but it is now grown
commercially in other areas of the world, such as California. Almonds have a
high nutritional ratio to calories when compared to other nuts, but like all
nuts, they are high in calories. See nutritional chart below.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
