Question: What is a Jordan almond?
It's all a matter of size.
Answer:

What are Jordan almonds? Are they the same as regular almonds?

If you find a variety called the Jordan almond, it's not a different species, but simply a larger specimen of the almond grown in Spain where the growing conditions produce unusually large fruits.

The term Jordan almonds is also used in reference to the pastel-colored, candy-coated Jordan almonds. When preparing a recipe, be certain you know which to use.
