Whole Blanched Almonds 1 Pound Bag - Oh! Nuts

Whole blanched almonds are almonds that have been blanched to remove the skin, leaving only the milder white. These blanched almonds also make for an excellent baking ingredient or just a great way to snack healthy. Almonds are high in protein, calcium and zinc, and also contain significant amounts of fiber, vitamin E, folate, calcium and other vitamins and minerals. Studies reveal that almonds, a diabetes friendly food, can lower the risk of heart disease and bad cholesterol. In order to maintain a safe and healthy standard for the product, raw blanched almonds are now pasteurized as required by law. Due to their high fat content, blanched almonds can easily turn rancid. If store properly in a refrigerator or freezer, they will keep for up to a year.
