Mamra Almond
Deep-rooted in Saman, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Mamra almond farmers harvest by hand and sell them raw and unprocessed. These almonds are grown using traditional methods, without chemical fertiliser. Compared to regular almonds, which have only 20–30% natural oil, Mamra almonds have 40–50%. Look at their wrinkled shape!
