Almond fruit is the exocarp and mesocarp of sweet almond; polyphenols concentrate in the hull layers, used for circulatory antioxidant support and fibre.

Primary

Use hull polyphenols for antioxidant support

Mesocarp and hull-layer proanthocyanidins exceed the kernel; powder keeps the part usually discarded. People watching circulatory oxidative load more often notice warmer hands and feet after several continuous weeks. Hull proanthocyanidins exceed the kernel; warmth of hands and feet is the circulation window.

Supporting

Increase insoluble-fibre bulk

Hull fibre stimulates the gut wall; the kernel oil path is weaker. People with thin stools more often notice forming after one to two continuous weeks. Insoluble fibre raises stool bulk; forming is more obvious than frequency. This almond-fruit path is easier to match with everyday sensations after several continuous days to weeks.
