Badam and almonds are often mistaken for the same thing, but they are not identical. Although both are nutrient-rich nuts commonly used in cooking and snacking, they differ significantly in terms of type, origin, appearance, dan rasanya.
Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between badam Dan Almond.
1. Type and Origin
Badam, also known as almond kernel in some regions, is primarily grown in the United States and distributed across Asia. Despite limited growing regions, badam is packed with nutrients and valued for its health benefits.
Almonds, on the other hand, belong to the Rosaceae family. Interestingly, what we commonly call “almonds” are actually the seeds of apricots. This botanical distinction sets them apart from badam, despite the visual and culinary similarities.
2. Appearance
The physical differences between badam and almonds are noticeable upon inspection:
- Badam fruit is initially grey-green and becomes harder as it matures. By July or August, the fruit splits open, revealing a thin, earthy-yellow shell. The badam kernel inside is flat and oval-shaped—somewhat elongated.
- Almonds have a more rounded oval shape with a hard shell and a light brown, papery skin. Their shell structure and color make them easy to recognize.
3. Taste Profile
Taste is another clear differentiator:
- Badam has a naturally sweet, crisp rasa. It has a unique aroma and texture that make it a popular choice for healthy snacking.
- Almonds, especially the bitter variety, can have a slightly astringent or bitter taste if not processed. To improve flavor and safety, they are often roasted, blanched, or coated with a light layer of salt.
