About Our Bulk Slivered Almonds Blanched
Almonds trace their origins to the Middle East and Central Asia. Almond trees are one of the earliest cultivated fruit trees. The selection of the sweet almonds that we enjoy today comes from the bitter cyanide-containing almond varieties. For example, almonds are one of the original examples of successful fruit domestication in modern history.
“blanched” refers to removing the brown skins from almonds by soaking them in hot water. As a result, we give you a creamy white almond slice that is less tannic and has a smooth texture for cooking and baking applications.
Finally, the almonds are placed into an industrial-grade slicer for maximum crunch while still thinly cut. We choose only almonds from the top almond crop in California and deliver them fresh to American consumers.
Uses
- For breakfast, add a handful of our bulk-blanched slivered almonds to your smoothie for a nutty protein boost.
- In salads, blanched slivered almonds lend elegance and a satisfying crunch.
- Explore world cuisines by making Chinese almond jelly, Indian Thandai ice cream, and Middle Eastern carrot-cumin-almond hummus with blanched slivered almonds!
- Specifically, for gluten-free baking, many gluten-free recipes call for almond meals, but the almond meal is expensive and very perishable. Our slivered almonds allow you to make batches of fresh almond meals much more economically by simply pulsing the almonds in a food processor. Grind them down until you get to the desired texture of the almond meal.
Storage
Due to their high oil content, we recommend storing our bulk blanched slivered almonds in a cold place. Their shelf life is up to 4 months in the cold and dark. They will keep for up to 9 months in the freezer. Accordingly, while in the freezer, they can be defrosted and re-frozen without losing flavor or texture.
