(December 6, 2019) - “In a perfect world, the best quality almond variety would be one that is self-compatible; pest resistant; high yielding; hulls well; cracks easily; can be blanched, sliced or roasted; tastes good and has all the phytonutrients for good health,” said Richard Waycott, Almond Board of California (ABC) President and CEO.
“In more than fifty years of almond breeding, we have yet to achieve this holy grail of an almond.”
