Bulk Almonds Blanched Pieces
Indulge in culinary refinement with our premium Blanched Almonds, a testament to quality and versatility!
Blanched almonds play a crucial role in food manufacturing due to their unique texture and appearance. Blanched almonds have a smooth, skinless surface, which makes them ideal for applications where a smooth texture is desired.
This is particularly important in products like nut butters, where a creamy consistency is desired. This ingredient can absorb flavors more readily than almonds with skins. This makes them excellent for applications where they’ll be used in sauces, dressings, or flavored coatings!
The absence of skins makes blanched almonds easier to blend and process into various products like almond flour, almond milk, and other almond-based ingredients!

Production & Sourcing
Blanched Almonds are created through a meticulous process that begins with harvesting mature almonds from almond trees. Once harvested, the almonds undergo blanching, which involves briefly immersing them in boiling water to loosen the skin.
Following blanching, the almonds are rapidly cooled and then mechanically processed to remove the now-loose skin, revealing the smooth, pale inner kernel. These blanched almonds are then thoroughly dried to ensure their quality and longevity.
