Blanched whole almonds

Description

Blanched whole almonds have a smooth, creamy-white skin and a firm, crunchy texture with a mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor, less bitter than skin-on almonds. Their subtle aroma makes them a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, which support heart health, blood sugar control, satiety, and protect cells from oxidative stress. Typical uses include baking, making marzipan and almond pastes, grinding into almond flour, adding to salads and desserts, roasting as a snack, and using for almond milk and breading. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong odors; they will stay fresh longer in the refrigerator and up to about a year in the freezer.
