Peeled from the brown skin of the almond kernels are cut into thin plates. In appearance, they resemble petals or flakes. They can be eaten raw or toasted. But most often housewives use almond "petals" to decorate pastries and desserts (for example, ice cream, cakes, biscuits, cupcakes). In addition to the decorative function, almond petals have a pronounced aroma, which allows them to be used as a seasoning for first courses. Almond petals have long been known in oriental cuisine, an indispensable attribute of which is a huge amount of spices and seasonings.
