Where are the main almond-producing regions distributed?

Are you familiar with almonds? Almonds are delicious, and I believe many people enjoy eating them, but do you know where almonds come from? Probably very few people know. So below, the editor will introduce the main almond-producing regions for everyone!

The almond fruit grows on short spurs and has an unripe appearance. When the fruit matures, its green outer hull splits open, revealing the kernel enclosed in a rough shell; the kernel is yellow with many small holes, and the shell is hard and woody. The almond fruit is flat and oval, round at one end and pointed at the other, covered with a thin brown skin. The kernel contains 20% protein and no starch; after grinding and pressing, the oil extracted is about half its own weight. Almond oil is pale yellow and, although it has no fragrance, has the effect of softening the skin.
