Preparation & Use

These almonds are fully toasted and ready to eat or garnish directly from the bag. For baking, add slivered almonds to batter or dough as-is; they will deepen slightly in color during the oven bake. For a crisper finish on salads or plated entrees, a brief toss in a dry skillet over medium heat for one to two minutes will refresh the toast. Store sealed in a cool, dry area; once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container and use within a few weeks for best flavor and crunch.

Common Applications

Green bean almondine, trout amandine, almond-crusted chicken, spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, fruit and nut granola bars, almond biscotti, panna cotta garnish, rice pilaf, and charcuterie board accompaniment. The slivered cut integrates well into both folded and surface applications, and the blanched skin-off appearance keeps colors clean against light sauces and white plates.
