What is the best quality Almonds?

The quality of almonds is determined by thinness of the shell, number of kernels in thee shell, and the length
India is the largest importer of Almonds from California. However, the best quality Almonds are grown in Kashmir. The quality of Almonds is determined by three factors
1. The thickness of the shell. Thinner the shell, better is the quality. The thin shelled Almonds are known as Kagazi Badam. Kagazi means paper-thin.
It is a common practice by many food packers to illegally treat the almonds to reduce the thickness of the shell so it would fetch a better price.
2. Number of kernels in the shell. Better quality almonds have two kernels in each shell.
3. Over all length of the kernel
