Organic Blanched Almonds

Whole organic Spanish almonds, blanched skinless

Same organic Spanish almonds as our wholes — gently blanched to lift away the skin and leave a softer, sweeter, milky-white nut. The skin carries the bitter tannins, so blanched almonds have that distinct, slightly sweeter marzipan note bakers and confectioners look for. Around 6g protein and 3.8g fibre per 30g serving.

Why we stock it  the way we do

Blanched almonds discolour and stale faster than skin-on almonds — moisture and light are the enemies. We move ours quickly and pack into resealable, kerbside-recyclable pouches to slow that down once they reach your cupboard. Taste-tested batch by batch.

 Best for:

•  Marzipan, frangipane and Bakewell-style bakes
•  Pilafs, korma and curries where you don’t want flecks of skin 
•  Sugared almonds, Jordan almonds and Italian confetti

Why Should I Get Organic Blanched Almonds?

Blanched almonds make a lovely garnish for platters and sweets. If you are baking a cake, cookie or pastry in which an even a moderately light colour is desirable, you'll want to use blanched almonds. Stir-fries and pilafs often call for blanched almonds because the skin may separate from the nut as the dish cooks, leaving husk residues in your recipe.

If you want my two cents I find Unblanched almonds are better for snacking as the skin makes almonds more bitter and grittier. Still though, Blanched or Not, almonds are still a rich source of fatty acids and the fatty acids still help to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and promote healthy skin and hair. Reducing cholesterol only accounts for half of the almonds nutritional arsenal as they are a fantastic source of many vitamins and minerals, such as manganese, copper and Riboflavin which support energy production and metabolic rate.

To finish Almonds also contain two vital brain nutrients, riboflavin and L-carnitine which are often difficult to get from other dietary sources. The consumption of almonds is a highly recommended way of increasing your intake of these brain Nutrients.
