So, what is amandes amère?
Amandes amère are bitter almonds, which come from a specific variety of almond trees known as Prunus dulcis var. amara. Unlike sweet almonds that are commonly used in baking and cooking, bitter almonds contain a compound called amygdalin that breaks down into toxic cyanide when ingested or processed. However, they can be used in small quantities to add a distinct almond flavor to dishes like marzipan, nougat, and liqueurs. Bitter almonds are also popular in traditional medicine and cosmetics for their purported health and beauty benefits.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
