the exquisite taste of these raw almonds from Green String reminds me that as a teenager I identified by smell some common aldehyde, I believe it was of almond or vanilla, in the bark and roots of boxelder bush. many scents and flavors associated with a particular plant can probably be found in other, completely unrelated, species.
