{"product_id":"nuts-41036","title":"Raw blanched almonds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Blanched Texas Almonds\u003c\/strong\u003e stand out for their light-colored interior, delicate nutty flavor, and pleasant texture. With their brown outer skin removed, they’re especially convenient for cooking and baking, as they blend easily into sweet and savory recipes. They’re a versatile choice for anyone looking for a pure almond flavor without added salt or roasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are blanched Texas almonds?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn almond is the edible seed of the \u003cem\u003ePrunus dulcis\u003c\/em\u003e tree. The name Texas refers to a well-known commercial almond variety. Blanched almonds have had their thin brown skin removed, giving the kernel a uniform cream color. Blanching often involves briefly treating the almonds with water to loosen the skin; the term “raw” indicates that they have not been roasted as a finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blanched kernel has a mild, clean almond flavor and a tender yet firm texture. Compared with almonds that retain their brown skin, it offers a different mouthfeel and a lighter appearance in recipes. Natural almonds may vary slightly in shape, size, and color, without changing their essential character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutritional characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds contain plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and fats, primarily unsaturated. They also provide nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and phosphorus. Removing the skin may affect some individual nutrients, so blanched almonds should not be assumed to have exactly the same nutritional composition as skin-on almonds. For accurate nutrition information, consult the product’s official label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to enjoy them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAs a simple snack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can enjoy them on their own and savor their natural flavor. A small handful makes a practical suggested serving, depending on your personal dietary needs. Pair them with fresh fruit or other unsalted nuts for a snack with varied textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn baking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanched almonds are especially useful in almond sweets, cookies, cakes, tarts, and traditional desserts. They can be used whole, chopped, or ground, depending on the recipe. If grinding them, use short pulses to avoid releasing too much of their natural oil and turning them into a paste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn salads and savory dishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry them in leafy green salads, rice dishes, vegetable dishes, or homemade sauces. Lightly toasted, they develop a more intense aroma and can be used as a finishing touch. If you choose to toast them, use a moderate temperature and check their color often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor homemade almond milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can soak the almonds, blend them with clean water, and then strain the mixture. Adjust the water ratio to achieve your preferred consistency. Homemade almond milk needs to be refrigerated and consumed promptly, as it has not undergone industrial preservation processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings from Spices Bazaar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an interesting variety of nuts, pair the blanched almonds with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuts-40953\"\u003ePecans\u003c\/a\u003e.

Almonds also pair well with cinnamon, honey, and orange zest in sweet recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProper storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore the almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat. As they contain natural oils, prolonged exposure to air can affect their freshness. For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator in a properly sealed container that protects them from moisture and odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAllergens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains almonds, tree nuts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not suitable for people with an almond allergy.
