Description
Shop Premium Almond / Badam (18/20) in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman. Fast delivery across the UAE.
Superior Grading and Size Excellence
We are pleased to offer our Premium Almond / Badam in the elite 18/20 grade, representing one of the largest and most sought-after sizes in the global market. The "18/20" designation refers to the kernel count per ounce, indicating a substantial, large-sized nut that is significantly more impressive in volume and appearance than standard varieties. These almonds are meticulously selected to ensure a uniform shape, a smooth outer skin, and the absence of chips or blemishes.
As a cornerstone of our Nuts collection, our 18/20 almonds are sourced from the world’s most reputable orchards. We offer this premium grade in a variety of weights, including 250g, 500g, 1kg, 3kg, and 5kg, catering to individual healthy snacking habits as well as bulk requirements for culinary professionals. Our commitment to quality ensures that customers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi receive kernels that are consistently fresh, plump, and full of natural vitality.
Taste Profile and Texture
The flavor profile of our Premium 18/20 Almonds is characterized by a mild, creamy sweetness and a deep, nutty essence. Because of their superior size and maturity, these kernels possess a higher oil content, which translates to a more robust flavor and a luxurious mouthfeel. They are presented in their raw, natural state to maintain the integrity of their aromatic compounds.
Texturally, these almonds offer a firm, satisfying snap upon the first bite, revealing a crisp yet smooth interior. This classic "crunch" is a hallmark of their freshness and careful storage. Whether consumed raw or lightly toasted, the texture remains consistent, making them a premier choice for those who appreciate the physical and sensory qualities of high-grade Badam.
Culinary Versatility and Pairing
The large size of the 18/20 almond makes it an exceptionally versatile ingredient for both traditional and modern culinary applications. They are frequently used in the preparation of rich Middle Eastern and South Asian desserts, or slivered to garnish savory rice dishes. Their substantial presence makes them ideal for inclusion in gift boxes from Premium Dates UAE, providing a crunchy contrast to the soft texture of our dates.
In the kitchen, these almonds can be ground into a fine, nutrient-dense flour for gluten-free baking or soaked and blended to create a creamy, artisanal almond milk. They pair exquisitely with Natural Raw Honey and aromatic Spice Bazaar such as saffron or cardamom. For an energizing morning routine, they are often paired with our Coffee or added to breakfast bowls featuring various Edible Seeds.

Origin and Preservation
Almonds (Prunus dulcis) have been a staple of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diet for millennia. Our 18/20 grade almonds are harvested from regions where the climate allows for a long growing season, resulting in larger kernel development. After harvest, they are shelled and sorted using advanced technology to preserve the delicate brown skin, which contains a high concentration of antioxidants. We store our almonds in climate-controlled environments in the UAE to prevent oxidation of their natural oils. Whether you are ordering from Premium Dates Sharjah or Premium Dates Ajman, our packaging ensures that the nuts reach your doorstep with their natural aroma and crispness perfectly preserved.
