Sliced Natural Almonds
Almonds are a nutritional powerhouse packed full of essential vitamins and nutrients. Scientifically known as Prunus dulcis, almond refers to both the tree and the seed. The almond seed is known as the drupe. It is removed from an outer hard shell (the hull) and prepared in various ways including slicing, chopping, blanching and roasting. Considered the healthiest of all nuts, sliced natural almonds are used regularly in baking and cooking. At Mount Hope, ‘natural’, when referring to a nut, means the skin has NOT been blanched off. If your application demands a pure creamy color, try our sliced blanched instead
Almonds originated in China and Central Asia. The popular nut quickly made its way to Mediterranean climates. Now the US, and California specifically, is one of the largest producers. Our sliced almonds are grown, harvested, and processed in California.
As a great antioxidant and immune booster, almonds provide a significant amount of protein, fiber and healthy fats, as well as calcium, fiber, folic acid, magnesium, potassium, and riboflavin. More good news, almonds:
