Toasted almond flakes

Description

Toasted almond flakes have a subtly nutty, slightly caramelized flavor and a crunchy texture, with their surface taking on a golden, appetizing color. Their aroma becomes more intense after toasting, which enhances the sweetness of the almond without the need for added sugar. They are a source of monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, as well as vitamin E, magnesium, and copper, which positively impact heart health, skin, and metabolism. Thanks to antioxidants and healthy fats, they help control appetite and stabilize blood sugar levels. In the kitchen, they work well as a topping for salads, yogurts, oatmeal, and desserts, adding texture to baked goods, crumb crusts, and coatings for fish and poultry. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place; for longer shelf life, it is advisable to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer, away from moisture and strong odors.
