Almonds

Firm, gently sweet kernels that work whole, flaked or ground. Almonds move easily from a simple breakfast to a fragrant rice dish.

Character

Clean crunch. Quiet versatility.

Forms

Whole, sliced, blanched or ground

Choose with purpose

Match the cut and preparation to your intended use.

At home in the kitchen

Scatter sliced almonds over porridge, fold chopped almonds through rice, or grind them into a sauce. Blanched almonds have their skins removed; that changes colour and texture, not the identity of the nut.

What to look for

Choose the cut for the job. Whole kernels suit a visible garnish; pieces and meal can be useful where the nut will be chopped or blended. Compare ingredient lists for added salt, oil or flavouring.

For a wholesale brief

Start with the intended use, preferred form, quantity and packaging needs. Grade, sample approval, availability, pricing and supply terms need to be agreed separately; this guide is not a statement of stock availability.

Before you eat

This is a tree nut. Avoid it if you have the relevant allergy, and read the pack allergen statement. For dietary needs or medical conditions, use individual advice from a qualified professional.
