Almonds

The Sacramento Valley produces 100% of Americas almonds and 80% of the worlds. The picture above is one of the husk mountains from the processing.
There's quite a bit to processing them. Their sorted on colour, size, type and removed if they had a scratch on them.
And then packaged and sent to the world. The scale is mind boggling. In fact the whole day has been doing my head in with the size and scale of food production.

Rob, I remember seeing miles and miles of Almond trees when SS and I travelled from San Fr. to LA - is that in Sacramento V.? Did you see my comment previous - re Ranch Resort? Helen.
