Domesticated almonds first appeared in about 3000-2000 BC in the Near East. A variety of almonds was even found in King Tut’s tomb in Egypt. Almonds were a delicacy added to the breads served to Egyptian Pharaohs. Explorers along the famous “Silk” road between Asia and the Mediterranean ate almonds while traveling. This led to almonds flourishing next in the countries of Spain and Italy.

In the mid 18th Century, almonds first arrived in California. Almonds didn’t grow very well in California’s climate however. But, in the late 1800s, research and cross-breeding developed the almond varieties we still eat today. Most of the world’s almond production now comes from California’s Central Valley.
