Finally, it should be remembered that Avola NA.mA almonds are free of aflatoxins , carcinogenic substances that proliferate in imported dried fruit. This circumstance embellishes our almonds even more, making them an absolutely unique product, with an unmistakable taste and above all with characteristics healthy.
Many studies have demonstrated the harmfulness of these substances, which is why our company, which has always been attentive to the health of the products it processes, constantly carries out analyzes on the production and in fact we have been able to observe that Sicilian almonds but even more so Avola almonds are free of aflatoxins.
This – most likely – is linked to several factors, among which a fundamental role is undoubtedly represented by the temperate climate, by traditional cultivation techniques and in respect of nature, in fact we remember that in cultivation no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used and above all by the shape of the shell (tegument) that contains our Avola almonds.
The shell is very hard and unlike other almonds which have a light and porous shell it is practically waterproof and does not allow the proliferation of aflatoxins inside it, jealously preserving its seed. All this allows us to bring a healthy and genuine product to our tables.
