Description
Almonds are the delicately-flavoured, buttery-textured seed of the almond tree. These almonds are blanched, which involves boiling the almonds briefly and then shocking them with cold water, which causes the skins to become loose and easy to remove. The almonds are then cut into slivers. This product is steam pasteurized.
Uses
Slivered blanched almonds make a tasty and attractive garnish for ice cream, salad, cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. They are also a good choice for stir-fry or grain dishes like couscous, as the slivers toast quickly and hold their shape without breaking.
