Applications
Slivered almonds are a workhorse ingredient in professional kitchens. In baking, they perform well in almond pound cake, financiers, rugelach, and as a crust or streusel component. On the savory side, they complement green bean almondine, trout amandine, rice pilafs, and Mediterranean vegetable dishes. Because the skins are removed, these almonds will not discolor light-colored batters or cream sauces, making them a reliable choice for recipes where visual consistency matters. Toast them briefly in a dry pan to deepen flavor before adding as a finishing element.
Preparation & Use
These almonds are ready to use straight from the bag with no soaking or peeling required. For the best flavor and texture, toast slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place; once opened, reseal tightly or transfer to an airtight container and use within a few weeks, or refrigerate for extended freshness. Keep case stock rotated so older bags are used first.
