I'm from Northern California where a lot of this work is done! I worked for a company that manufactured equipment that is part of the almond harvesting process. Its so cool to see stuff I designed as I drive through the area. Great video!
I used to haul almonds from field to plant to blue Dimond. Glad I'm not doing that anymore. Those 15+ nonstop (and I mean nonstop) hour days. Finally got my hearing back.
I used to drive a truck with double trailers in the almond orchard, during the September harvest, in California. Same as they show at the beginning of the video, in the processing plant. 24/7 operation, very dusty. Almonds are also expensive because newly planted trees take seven years to grow before the first crop. The most interesting part of the harvest is when they dislodge the nuts from the tree - a low tractor with two long arms grabs the trunk and shakes it violently, knocking the husks free. Farmers tell the same joke - the "L" in almond is silent because they shook the "ell" out of them.
I lived about three years on an almond ranch when I was a teenager ... help with harvest and the little processor the owner had ... maybe 25 foot tall trees would bloom in the spring, grow fruit until ready ... we used rubber mallets to bang on the tree limbs to knock the nuts off ... and then ran a machine that just scooped them up off the ground ... thus all the debris shown in the video ... the correct pronunciation when the nut is still on the tree is /al-mund/, with the L sound ... after it's on the ground, processed and on your table, it's pronounced /ah-mund/, without the L sound ... the rubber mallet mentioned above knocks the L out of them ...
If I understood correctly.... they spin the crap out of the whole almonds, the friction separates the shells from the almonds and the spinning barrels have perforations in it, so the almonds can escape, but not the shells... then a computer, a camera and shots of air get rid off the small shells that made it with the almonds, among other stuff...
I realize it's a joke, but to make any kind of nut milk all you do is blend the nut with water and filter the liquid from the solids. It's actually pretty easy to make at home, all you need is a cloth bag made for the job, and a blender.
If almonds are pick by machines then whos going to pick the machine to pick the almonds. I know its crazy but I'm still trying to figure out if my barber cuts my hair then whos cut his hair. Lmfao
Imagine how much cheaper almonds would be if people just ate imperfect looking almonds, instead of having a 23 step process of robots for sorting almonds...
Just Compared the price with here in India, and there's barely any difference in both the imported Californian Almonds with similar robotic process or hand-filtered Indian packed.
Did you see how many times they were processed and a piece of glass still made it through. Why sell imperfect one when you can make butter and chocolate bars and milk where it not needed.
The whole thing did make me realize that this idea of a picky eater is just a extreme of the already picky standards we unknowingly follow. I grew up on heirloom tomatos so I was used to cutting off pits & scabs but the amount of superficial standards is infurating good thing.hopefully most of the ones that don't make it are put into other items.
I’ve seen some of the equipment at Central Valley processors but it’s great to see the whole process. Really labor intensive even with robots and computers. I don’t know why they made that lady toss the reject almonds up when it’s far easier to give her a drop chute just inches away from the conveyor belt.

The sorting machine with camera technology sending information to a robotic machine that picks up the almonds is incredible - whoever invented that and manufactures the machine is very clever and I suppose rich.
Everytime i watch videos like these it makes me proud of being a human. Such accurate precision and efficiency all in a computer to sort out almonds better than a human can do in an hr
They have mechanical shaking machines that go into the almond groves, grab the trunks, and violently shake the tree. The almonds fall to the ground and they're picked up by other machines that then move them into trucks. It's also why they found a bottlecap in the trash.
I was wondering how the shell was removed the entire time. "Then the shells are removed" that's slightly annoying, no explanation at all to my knowledge.
Hi great process, I would like to know more. What it is the company? I'm asking about the Almond company, I am designing a system to identify ores, and I wanted to use a collection robot like the one shown in the video, which collects almonds. Can you help me?
What I got from this video:
- Almonds just magically appears in a factory.
-Always wash your almonds, always!
WifeOfOryx created by lasers, cameras and tiny puffs of air.
I never wash my almonds brrrr
@@Shnick a
Also the shells are removed by magic.
Or wipe them off.
Raw almonds are as good or better than roasted. Depending who grew them.
“This robot has been programmed to randomly eat almonds”
Yes Sir
Can relate. Those suckes are really tasty
Robot: What's my purpose?

During my Chico State years 1977-83 I lived right next to an almond orchard. They called them “am-ends” Like Sam.

Great and factual. comment, thoroughly enjoyable .
Hi
I am looking for Almond to import it to Middle East
If you can help me please 🙏
Thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a tree somewhere in this process? I mean this is how they're processed, not how they're made.
You new here?
Ya I get the concept of the show. I was just sort of hoping for a look into how they're grown and harvested.
Pfftt a tree! What's that?
I lived about three years on an almond ranch when I was a teenager ... help with harvest and the little processor the owner had ... maybe 25 foot tall trees would bloom in the spring, grow fruit until ready ... we used rubber mallets to bang on the tree limbs to knock the nuts off ... and then ran a machine that just scooped them up off the ground ... thus all the debris shown in the video ... the correct pronunciation when the nut is still on the tree is /al-mund/, with the L sound ... after it's on the ground, processed and on your table, it's pronounced /ah-mund/, without the L sound ... the rubber mallet mentioned above knocks the L out of them ...

You saved me 5 minutes. Thank you.
Lol, that’s what I was thinking! It’s like, don’t they grow on trees???
This comment had me in literal laughing tears for this entire video idek wtf this man said at all
Fuken ruined it for me before watching it
Plus millions of gallons of water.
Some of this sorting technology is just... *nuts*
That's very punny. Not.
Done with this. Time to watch How It's Actually Made
I watched full video but I'm still curious how they remove the shell of Almond
If I understood correctly.... they spin the crap out of the whole almonds, the friction separates the shells from the almonds and the spinning barrels have perforations in it, so the almonds can escape, but not the shells... then a computer, a camera and shots of air get rid off the small shells that made it with the almonds, among other stuff...
Francisco Noyola haha “spin the crap out of them” that made my day😂
by teeth
Wait there are shells
Monkeys and hammers
This reminded me of my jar of almonds and I swear they tasted extra delicious when I ate them while watching!
Eat more California almonds, a wheel barrow a week is all we ask.
Do you still have extra almonds
I was laughing through this whole episode.

I don't know how this video will be useful for me, but here I am watching it 4am in the morning.
twinnnn it’s 4:16
we now have machines to assemble our own almonds from raw elements, what a future.
Haha!

"How almonds are MADE"
Me:- Trees. That's how almonds are made. Trees.
this is relaxing to watch :D
Great Video!! I Love Watching How It's Made 😍 Thank You!!❤💕
How it's made Almonds! Step one: plant a Almond tree step two: eat Almonds🌱
As my mother would say: "Don't waste food -- it's expensive!. Do you think it grows on trees?"
Your mom has humour.
@@dozog Sadly, no. What she does have though is a 10 body and an 80 IQ. My father wasn't subtle about why he married her. Still, she tries her best :)
you should not talk about your mother like that.
Yummy almond
I'm impress with the technology they are using.
if only i had put half of the care they put into sorting almonds, into my life
Literally grew up breaking open these shells to eat the almonds 😊
Take a shot every time he says "almonds"
Two when he says "perfect".

good god the amount of work put into making sure our almonds look nice! where is the scratch n' dent almond store
I thought Almonds grew in nature, now I know they’re made in a factory. Shits nuts
Absolutely fascinating
Good and informative Docu.
I also pay a premium for the best nuts.

So like 80% of the process is checking and rechecking for rocks and cracks?

So fascinated
What happened to the almond before it got to the packaging facility?
What the tree looks like?
How is harvested?
They have mechanical shaking machines that go into the almond groves, grab the trunks, and violently shake the tree. The almonds fall to the ground and they're picked up by other machines that then move them into trucks. It's also why they found a bottlecap in the trash.
I drooled through the whole video
That Robot was so cool 😀
Brutal selection process :p
Thank you😊
Interesting!!!
The perfect almonds travel forward
All I could think of while watching this is Arin talking to Dan about how terrible growing almonds is for the environment
Whoooo???
I understood that reference.
Thank you for not using single use plastic . Bravo 👏
American TV = Filled with cheap reality shows
German TV = Informational yet entertaining shows like How It's Made
This show isn't German
I was wondering how the shell was removed the entire time. "Then the shells are removed" that's slightly annoying, no explanation at all to my knowledge.
This was missing a lot of probably interesting details. Like I think they uses a tractor with a shaker plate to get them out of the tree
Can you do How it's made: Babies
yep there is an episode on "pornhub".
How It's Made: Almonds

You should check them into a rehabilitation program and not make jokes about serious marijuana abuse
When a mommy almond loves a daddy almond they do a spectacular thing calle-
4:00 Never knew using hearing protection the proper way was this difficult
There's a lot missing from this story of how an almond goes from a tree to a Hershey bar.
Not shown: The Obscene amount of water needed to harvest these in most areas
Most of Calis water goes to LA. I'd rather all the water go to the central valley.

This is extremely high tech for almonds
*"Some buyers will pay a "Premium" for the best "nuts."*
Neat. I’ve never been able to taste almonds or walnuts so I don’t understand the hype. But cashews and pecans are delicious!!
Walnuts taste like dirt anyways. I'm with you on absolutely smashing cashews though.

You forget the step where they add the decoy almonds.
Haha Just kidding decoy almonds don't exist!
Or do they?
Watching this while eating almonds.
C Sg so I’m wondering did you look up how almonds were made to get to that point or was it coincidental?
Now I'm hungry
Almond is very good to eat😁
Whenever I have anxiety
I go for this channel
Almonds are made. Mind blown
"How They're Processed" would be a more accurate title than "How it's Made" 😆
Nice video
Random question, am I the only one who likes it when they spill a drink on their bed?
Well, when a daddy almond loves a mommy almond, they make more almonds.
SATAKE sorters are awesome!!!
👍Great
How do they deshell the almonds. You just skipped over an entire process.
Actually refers to the shell as the “hull”. Removal is described about 55 seconds in.
I must have missed something...where is the part where they activate them??
I love love me some almonds!
Sorry I had deleted it, mat I know where you from
@Ali khan where you from?
The best almonds are smoked and salted almonds. They are one of my all-time favorite snacks.
I don't know why this was in my recommended but 2:37 is pretty funny
