Chopped almonds

Description

Chopped almonds have a pleasant, slightly sweet taste with a distinct nutty note and a crunchy texture; their irregular, light beige pieces are clearly visible in dishes and enhance the aroma after a brief toasting. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, protein, fiber, as well as vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium, providing antioxidants and components that support heart health, stabilize blood sugar levels, and promote a feeling of fullness. In the kitchen, chopped almonds work well as an addition to salads, cereals, yogurts, cookies, cakes, and granola, as a coating, ingredient in spreads, or decoration for desserts and savory dishes. They should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture; at room temperature, they stay fresh for several weeks, and in the refrigerator or freezer, even for several months.
