it doesn't come from almonds but there are trace elements of cyanide in almonds. the type of almonds we typically eat, which are called sweet almonds, do not contain a substantial amount of cyanide. remember, it is a TRACE substance in almonds and it will not harm you to eat them.
For industrial purposes cyanide is synthesized by reacting ammonia, methane, and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst.
