Organic Almonds, Whole, Raw 1 lb

Almonds

These are whole almonds that have been pasteurized using steam treatment, a USDA-approved method used to reduce the presence of pathogens like Salmonella while maintaining the almond's raw characteristics. Unlike roasted or blanched almonds, steamed almonds retain their skin and natural flavor.

Blanched sliced almonds are raw almonds that have had their skins removed (blanched) and then thinly sliced. This results in a pale, smooth, cream-colored almond sliver that's ideal for baking, garnishing, or mixing into dishes.
