The almond nut export from South Africa includes a variety of high-quality almonds, each catering to specific market preferences in both domestic and international trade. Here's a closer look at the major almond varieties from South Africa:
1. Nonpareil This is one of the most popular and premium almond varieties, known for its thin outer shell and smooth, blemish-free nuts. Its attractive appearance and light color make it ideal for both direct consumption and processing, especially in products requiring a smooth, high-quality nut.
2. Carmel A soft-shell variety, the Carmel almonds are often used for blanching and roasting. Though it's technically a California type, it's popular enough to be distinguished on its own. It's often substituted for Nonpareil due to its similar characteristics, but with a slightly different texture and flavor profile.
3. Butte This variety has a semi-hard shell and is known for its small, plump nuts with a wrinkled surface. Butte almonds are commonly used in various products and are popular for their distinct appearance and medium to small size. They have a slightly different texture than other varieties, making them suitable for export to diverse markets.
4. Peerless Peerless is another California type almond with a hard shell and a smooth surface. These almonds are medium-sized with a wide shape and have a fairly wrinkled surface. While similar to other California types, Peerless stands out for its sturdy shell and reliable consistency, making it a solid export option.
5. Sonora Known for its paper-thin shell and dark brown color, the Sonora variety is large in size and narrow. It has a rough surface, which makes it distinctive from other varieties. This variety is particularly popular for its larger nut size, making it suitable for snacks, baking, and other food products.
