{"product_id":"nuts-41042","title":"Sliced almonds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlaked Almonds\u003c\/strong\u003e are thin, pale slices of almond that add a delicate nutty flavor and an elegant appearance to sweet and savory creations. Thanks to their fine cut, they’re easy to scatter over desserts, incorporate into doughs, and add a pleasant texture to salads. They’re a practical ingredient for everyday cooking, as well as for recipes that call for a polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are flaked almonds?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn almond is the edible seed of the \u003cem\u003ePrunus dulcis\u003c\/em\u003e tree. To make flaked almonds, the kernel is cut into thin slices. This form differs from whole almonds, chopped almonds, and almond flour. The slices naturally vary in shape and thickness, and smaller pieces from the slicing process may also be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor, appearance, and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlaked almonds have a mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Their thin form makes them especially enjoyable as a topping. When used untoasted, they retain a milder character. A brief toasting brings out a more pronounced aroma and a crisp texture. Their pale appearance works well with white creams, chocolate desserts, and colorful salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for baking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCakes, cookies, and tarts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle flaked almonds over a cake before baking, or use them to decorate cookies and tarts. The thin slices create an attractive surface and add a pleasant contrast to fluffy dough. You can also pair them with vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, or orange zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCreams and desserts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse them on rice pudding, vanilla custard, ice cream, or yogurt. If you toast them lightly, let them cool before adding them to chilled desserts. This helps them stay crisp and prevents them from changing the temperature of the dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses in savory cooking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlaked almonds aren’t limited to sweet recipes. Try them in green salads, rice dishes, roasted vegetables, or sprinkled over velvety soups. Their mild flavor pairs well with olive oil, lemon, and aromatic herbs. Add them just before serving when you want their texture to stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to toast flaked almonds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat a nonstick pan over low to medium heat, without necessarily adding oil. Add a thin layer of almonds and stir frequently. Because the slices are thin, they can brown very quickly. Remove them as soon as they turn lightly golden and transfer them to a cool dish to stop the cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutritional properties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds contain plant-based fats, protein, and fiber, and provide nutrients such as vitamin E and magnesium. The exact nutritional composition depends on the product and how it has been processed. They are an energy-dense food, so portion size matters. For specific nutritional values, consult the official label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings from Spices Bazaar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also need whole blanched almonds for other preparations, discover our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuts-41036\"\u003eTexas Raw Blanched Almonds\u003c\/a\u003e.
