Almonds

Almonds are grown in sunny, irrigated, hot fields all around the world, but predominantly in California. Almonds are graded beginning with supreme on down; rated by quantity per pound, with the larger almonds, the supremes or NPS, being the most sought after type. Inshell almonds begin looking like a teardrop with small holes in the shell. When shelled a natural almond has a brown skin, textured and thin. Blanched almonds are produced by peeling off the outer brown thin skin. Our almonds are water blanched which produces a more appealing nut.

Almonds are well known as extremely rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals & importantly monounsaturated fatty acids, which tests have shown to lower the risk of heart problems. Also, a steady diet of almonds helps to lower cholesterol and has only a trace amount of salt in the almonds natural state. Even various almonds roasted no-salt have positive influences on our bodies.

Natural almonds are generally sold whole, but are available sliced. The blanched almonds are processed with the skins removed as whole blanched almonds, sliced & slivered. Also almonds can be found as almond meal & almond flour.

The uses of almonds, other than snacking includes: sauces, stuffings in fowl, dessert toppings, cheese balls, various international pastries, served in pasta dishes, cookies, cakes, mixed in ice creams.
Almond flour instead of wheat in baking fine breads, cookies, muffins, cakes & pies. Almond flour is also used for coatings on beef, chicken, fish & pork. It is excellent for people on low carb diets.
