Origin
Almond extract is derived from the almond nut, which is native to the Middle East, specifically Iran and surrounding regions. Almonds have been cultivated for thousands of years and have a long history in ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. The extraction process involves crushing almonds and steeping them in alcohol to draw out the flavor compounds. Almond extract is commonly used in baking and cooking to add a rich, nutty flavor to various dishes.
