Why is it feminine?

Almendras is feminine because it derives from Latin "amygdala," which was feminine in gender, and this grammatical gender was preserved through its evolution into Spanish via Arabic influence (the word entered Spanish through the Arabic "al-lundah"). Like many Romance language nouns ending in "-a," it retained the feminine gender of its Latin ancestor.
