Almond flakes (optional)

Description

Almond flakes are thin, light flakes with a delicate, slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and a pleasant, crunchy texture when toasted. Their subtle aroma does not overpower dishes but adds a touch of elegance and texture, while their light cream-colored appearance makes them an excellent decoration. Nutritionally, they are a source of monounsaturated fats, protein, fiber, vitamin E, and minerals such as magnesium and calcium; they support heart health, help maintain satiety, and provide antioxidants. In the kitchen, almond flakes are suitable for baking, muesli, salads, desserts, oatmeal, and as a topping for meats or fish, as well as a crunchy addition to vegetable dishes. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from light; for longer freshness, it is advisable to keep them in the refrigerator or freeze them to avoid the fats going rancid.
