In his spare time, Dad likes to take Kristine to the candy shop to taste it. I have loved eating almond paste since I was a child. Because almond paste has a strong aroma, just like celery and coriander, some people love it and some people are afraid of it.
The Hong Kong version uses southern apricots and a little northern apricots. This time, Christine used large almonds bought in Australia. The smell was not the strong almond smell that she was used to before, but it was clear and slightly sweet. Another flavor twist. Family members who don’t like strong aromas were happy to eat a bowl.

You may wish to add almonds to your diet as they contain high nutritional value. Almonds are considered a healthy food. It contains a lot of unsaturated fat, which is very beneficial to human health. Can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and prevent cardiovascular disease. It can also nourish the brain and enhance memory.
So Christine made some almond paste as a snack. Smooth, sweet, and very refreshing.
