Please would you consider coming up with a recipe that uses cactus (nopales)? I know that if you work your magic, I will be able to cook cactus curry with Indian flavors rather than Mexican/Latin American ones! Thanks again for all you do for people like me.

We should get together sometime soon.:) Thanks Mandira. This is how I'd describe Green almond's taste profile: Outer green skin: Bitter and sour, like how it tastes when you bite into an olive. The middle white part: Sour and sweet, like tender green mango The inner undeveloped almond seed part: Sweet and jelly like, similar to <a href="http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi/archives/2007/04/08/taati-nunjalu-toddy-palm-seeds/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">toddy palm seeds (taati munjalu)</a> Gini: Yes, they are.

Thanks Mandira. This is how I’d describe Green almond’s taste profile:

Outer green skin: Bitter and sour, like how it tastes when you bite into an olive.

The middle white part: Sour and sweet, like tender green mango

The inner undeveloped almond seed part: Sweet and jelly like, similar to toddy palm seeds (taati munjalu)

Gini: Yes, they are.
