Learn “Frutos Secos” in Spanish

Practice Spanish Vocabulary: “nueces, almendras, avellanas”

Nuts are a fundamental part of the diet in many Spanish-speaking countries, both for their flavor and for their multiple health benefits.

Almonds are a nutritional powerhouse and a culinary delight, beloved across Latin America and Spain. Packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, they offer a wide range of health benefits. From ancient times, almonds have been prized for their nourishing qualities. Today, they are enjoyed in countless ways, from a simple handful as a snack to being a key ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

Their versatility shines in everything from traditional desserts like nougat and cookies to gourmet recipes such as salads and casseroles. Whether you’re looking to boost your energy levels, maintain a healthy heart, or simply savor a delicious treat, almonds are a nutritious choice that can be incorporated into a variety of diets.

Do we say “cacahuate” or “cacahuete”?

The “cacahuate” is a plant native to South America, probably Peru. Although Europeans saw it for the first time in an Aztec market, its name in Nahuatl was “tlalcacacahuatl”. In Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries it is called “cacahuate”, while in some places, such as the West Indies, it is called “maní”.

In Spain it is called “cacahuete“, due to the evolution of the Nahuatl language into Spanish, where “tl” became “te”. Both words, “cacahuate” and “cacahuete”, are correct.
