Baker’s Select Blanched Sliced Almonds, 5 Pound, 1 Per Case

Baker’s Select Blanched Sliced Almonds are thin, ready-to-use almond slices with the skins removed for a clean, uniform appearance. The 5 pound bulk bag supplies restaurants, bakeries, and cake shops with a generous quantity for high-volume prep without constant restocking. Because the almonds arrive pre-sliced and blanched, kitchen staff can skip the time-consuming work of peeling and cutting, going straight to garnishing, topping, or mixing. Kosher certification makes them suitable for menus that require kosher-compliant ingredients. Each slice toasts evenly and adheres well to frosted surfaces, glazed pastries, and coated confections.

Uses

Bakery topping: Scatter over cakes, tarts, Danish pastries, and coffee cakes before or after baking for a golden, crunchy finish.
Dessert garnish: Press onto the sides of frosted layer cakes, sprinkle over puddings, custards, and ice cream sundaes, or use as a plate accent for plated desserts.
Trail mix and snack blends: Combine with dried fruit, seeds, and other nuts for custom trail mixes and snack mixes sold in bulk bins or grab and go pouches.
Salad and side dish topping: Add to green salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetable sides, and rice pilafs for a mild, nutty crunch.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt bars: Use as a coating or topping at scoop shops and soft-serve stations where quick, consistent coverage matters.

Preparation & Use

These sliced blanched almonds are ready to eat straight from the bag. For toasted almond topping, spread slices in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake at 325 °F for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden. Let cool before sprinkling over frosted cakes or folding into batters. For stovetop toasting, toss slices in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid scorching. Store the sealed bag in a cool, dry place; once opened, keep the remaining almonds in an airtight container and use within a few weeks for best freshness and flavor.

Common Applications

Baker’s Select Blanched Sliced Almonds appear across a wide range of professional kitchens. Cake decorators press them into buttercream on the sides and tops of tortes and layer cakes. Pastry chefs sprinkle them over fruit tarts, almond danishes, and bakewell-style confections before or after the oven. Ice cream parlors use them as a crunchy topping at the scoop counter. Savory kitchens add them to salads, couscous, and roasted vegetable dishes for texture contrast. Bulk snack producers blend them into trail mixes and granola cereals where a light, skinless almond slice is preferred over darker unblanched pieces.
