Does anybody know anything about why there seems to be no almond extract in the DR? There is much vanilla extract and it is very popular with tourists. Everywhere I go I see Almond trees and I just wonder why nobody seems to produce the extract? A man from India once told me that these almond trees of the DR are different and produce a more bitter fruit,(nut). I wonder if that is true. A diver from the Puerto Plata area once showed me how to use the almond tree to keep my diving mask from fogging up> I never use my comercial "Sea Drops" on my mask anymore, the almond tree works for a longer time.
