Whole Blanched Almonds

Our whole blanched almonds are grown and processed in California. Blanching is a process in which the almonds are heated in boiling water to about 160 degrees F. While they are still warm, the skins are removed. With a buttery, nutty flavor, whole blanched almonds can be used to make almond flour and almond paste. They are also commonly used as decoration for cakes and cookies, dip in chocolate to make confections or stuffed into olives, dates or figs to make delicious appetizers.  

Almonds are packed with nutrition. Because of this, they are one of the most popular tree nuts in the U.S. They are high in protein and fiber at approximately 6 grams and 4 grams per ounce respectfully. They are also an excellent source of other vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Two decades of research has shown that almonds can help maintain a healthy heart and weight.
