Almond tree mutations, particularly those related to the domestication of sweet almonds from wild bitter varieties, are believed to have occurred around 4,000 to 3,000 BCE in the region of the Fertile Crescent. The sweet almond mutation is characterized by the absence of amygdalin, a compound that makes the nuts bitter and potentially toxic. This genetic shift allowed for the cultivation of sweet almonds, which became a staple in various cultures. Over time, selective breeding further enhanced the diversity and qualities of almond varieties.
