Blanched almonds for decoration

Description

Blanched almonds for decoration have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and a smooth, creamy surface free of skin, giving them an elegant, light appearance ideal for decorating cakes, desserts, and salads. They are a source of healthy monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, which support heart health, help control cholesterol levels, and provide a feeling of fullness; the energy value is high, so they should be consumed in moderation. In the kitchen, they work well whole, as flakes, or chopped — they are perfect for baked goods, creams, pralines, muesli, savory dishes, and breading for fish or poultry; lightly toasting them brings out their aroma and crunchiness. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place; in the refrigerator or freezer, they will stay fresh much longer and will not absorb odors.
