Blanched almonds (chopped)

Description

Blanched almonds (sliced) have a creamy white color and thin, smooth flakes with a delicate, crunchy texture. Their flavor is subtly sweet and nutty, milder than almonds with skin, making them an elegant, neutral addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Nutritionally, they provide healthy monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium, as well as antioxidants, which support heart protection, blood sugar control, satiety, and bone health. In the kitchen, they are used as a topping for salads, oatmeal, and desserts, an ingredient in baking, granola, fillings, and breading for fish or poultry, as well as for decoration and creams. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place; for longer freshness, keep in the refrigerator or freezer, avoiding moisture and light.
