How to remove the bitterness of almonds? How to make them delicious

Almonds can be sweet or bitter. Generally speaking, unprocessed almonds are bitter. When people eat bitter almonds, they naturally pay special attention to how to remove the bitterness of almonds. So, how to remove the bitterness of almonds?

Methods to remove the toxins and bitterness of almonds:

1. Soak bitter almonds in water, remove the seed coat, and soak them in water for several days, changing the water frequently, until the bitter taste is gone before eating. They should be cooked or fried before eating, because heating will destroy the activity of amygdalin and volatilize hydrocyanic acid, so it is safe to process almonds into almond cream or almond tea.

Sweet almonds have relatively small toxic side effects, but eating too much can still cause poisoning, so it is not advisable to eat too much.

2. Soak the almonds in cold water for a day and boil them in water for 5 minutes. Do not boil the almonds for too long to prevent them from rising and affecting the taste. Continue soaking the peeled and tipped almonds, changing the water once in the morning and evening for three consecutive days.
