Almond Wholesale: Kernel & In-Shell Supply

Almond, with its protein, vitamin E and monounsaturated-fatty-acid content, is one of the most in-demand nuts of the food industry; growth in the plant-based milk (almond milk), bakery and confectionery sectors steadily increases this demand. Türkiye-sourced almond reaches the European and Middle East markets with a logistic advantage. In this article we cover the varieties, use and wholesale buying of the edible almond.

Note: this guide covers the edible almond kernel. The hard outer shell of the almond is a separate product; we covered its use as fuel and in sandblasting in our Almond Shell Guide.

Almond’s Place in the Market

Almond is one of the nuts at the centre of the healthy-food and plant-based-product trend. With its protein, vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids it is in demand both in direct consumption and in processed food. Growth in almond milk and plant-based drinks steadily pulls almond-kernel demand up.

Kernel and In-Shell, Raw and Roasted

Almond can be supplied in different formats and processing options:

Kernel / in-shell: almond kernel is ready to process; in-shell almond offers a longer shelf life.
Raw / roasted: raw almond for processing and almond milk; roasted almond is preferred for direct snacking and confectionery.

The right format is determined by your target application (processing, snack, almond milk).

The Advantage of the Türkiye Source

The main advantage of Türkiye-sourced almond is logistic proximity to the European and Middle East markets and a shorter supply time. This means a cost and time advantage, especially for exporters and processors needing regular supply. We explained the delivery terms in export in our EXW, FOB and CIF in Export article.

Buying Almond Wholesale

Quality in almond is assessed by grain-size consistency, yield, moisture and roasting behaviour. We supply wholesale by the truckload and discuss smaller volumes for food lots. For product details, see our almond page; for the right-supplier criteria, see our How to Choose a Supplier article.
