Tropical almond

So last week, I made a research on almonds and found out that what we (Nigerians) call fruit is actually the tropical almond. I plucked 15 seeds and ate. Within 1 week of consuming 15-20 seeds for a week, I gained 3 kg in weight. My chins also became kinda puffy. 
Almonds are delicious and ready-to-consume fruit… Those found at the equatorial region of the earth are called tropical almonds.. Furthermore, tropical almond seeds have 16% sugar, 25% protein, and various types of amino acids. The skin of almond tropical wood’s tissue contains 11% -23% tannins….
