peer agreement (net): +9nonpareil almonds Explanation: fr>eng? literally means "unparalleled" VARIETY The Nonpareil Marketing Group consists of Nonpareil, Kapareil, Milow, and Jeffries. Nonpareil almonds are the most common of these four types. Nonpareils constitute fifty-one percent of all almonds produced in California. They were created in 1879 by A. T. Hatch, in Suisun California. They were among the first almond varieties created in California and have proved themselves successful from the beginning. Nonpareils are considered to be the most important almond variety in California because of their continually high productivity and high market demand The Nonpareil variety is harvested early in the season. This early harvest is advantageous to the final quality of the nut because the Nonpareil, being poorly sealed and having a paper thin shell, can be susceptible to worm and bird damage. Harvesting early lessens this problem tremendously. But, its poor seal and thin shell become a benefit in shell removal. Chip and Scratch is lower, in general, for the Nonpareils, considering most of this specific damage comes from the shelling process. Seventy percent of the Nonpareils are shelled. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-27 01:16:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Pour les variétés étrangères, l\'amande la plus commercialisée est l\'amande Nonpareil, d\'origine californienne. www.cannelle.com/LABO/produits/ excellence/amandes.shtml Reference: http://www.gold-hills-nut.com/varieties/nonpareil.html |
