They are very good cut in half or pieces and sauteed in olive oil with finely diced onion and tomato, salt, and lemon juice. My Palestinian mother-in-law cut a cross into the stem end of green almonds and cooked them with tiny pearl onions. They made a great side dish, seasoned with salt and pepper.

I discovered an almond tree in my yard Northern California and for a couple of years I didn't get around to harvesting them. They're beautiful and green, some I picked up off the ground, but they are so hard I can't even pry them open. I tried tasting the green outside, like someone at this site talked about, but it tasted awful so I suspect it is also because I picked them too soon they came off the tree easily So, if I let them set for a while will they ripen and split open?
I'm so excited to have them, now I need to figure out how to handle them. When they are as you have described them it means that they are now too ripe to eat the green part. Unlike what is said in this article, we eat the green shell part as well including the soft nut in the middle.

This is amazing. I've never harvested a single almond because the squirrels would always clean them out first. A few years ago, I even bought one of those stupid ultrasonic squirrel scarers. At least I was smart enough to buy one that had a money back guarantee if it did not work.
Now, almost 60 years old, I learn there is an easier way and why the squirrels eat them! I sound like everyobe else! Just saw them for the first time in my life at our local Persian Market. Go figure since they appear between April and June.
I questioned an Iranian woman next to me as she picked though about a half pound to take home. She said to soak them in salted water for about 10 hours then down they go.
She did not mention removing the shell. I guess in about 10 hours, I'll try them both ways! I soak them in water with salt and eat them whole that way. Green Almonds are so yummy. In Syria, we wait for the spring to come anxiously so that they are available on the market. No need for a knife to open them.
Your strong teeth can do the trick if you wanted to open them before eating them which I recommend as some could have worms or like that inside. Try them with salt.
