Almonds have high levels of polyunsaturated fats. Typically, the omega 6 fatty acids in almonds are protected from oxidation by the surface skin and vitamin E . When almonds are ground, this protective skin is broken and exposed surface area increases dramatically, greatly enhancing the nut's tendency to oxidize.
The optimal temperature for their growth is between 15 and 30 °C (59 and 86 °F) and the tree buds have a chilling requirement of 200 to 700 hours below 7.2 °C (45.0 °F) to break dormancy. [12] Almonds begin bearing an economic crop in the third year after planting. Trees reach full bearing five to six years after planting.

[9] [10] [11] C. esculentus is cultivated for its edible tubers, called earth almonds or tiger nuts (due to the stripes on their tubers and their hard shell), as a snack food and for the preparation of horchata de chufa, a sweet, milk-like beverage. [12] [13] Cyperus esculentus can be found wild, as a weed, or as a crop.
Sugarcane or sugar cane is a species of tall, perennial grass (in the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae) that is used for sugar production. The plants are 2–6 m (6–20 ft) tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose , [ 1 ] which accumulates in the stalk internodes .
Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdalē 'almond') is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in many plants, most notably in the seeds (kernels, pips or stones) of apricots, bitter almonds, apples, peaches, cherries and plums, and in the roots of manioc.
White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners. [3] Beet sugar has never been processed with bone char and is vegan. [4] In modern times, activated carbon and ion-exchange resin may be used – see Sugar refinery § Purification.
