Anxious almond lovers snapped up every available one within 30 minutes of a special farming festival opening its gates last night.
The almond is an edible and widely-cultivated seed of the tree of the same name and is being celebrated for two consecutive Saturdays at Budaiya Botanical Gardens.
Around 500kg of almonds were purchased by shoppers at BD6 a kilo at the venue which regularly stages the popular farmers market.
