Sliced almonds and slivered almonds aren't the same product. Sliced almonds are thin flat flakes cut horizontally across the kernel — they look like petals or shavings, work as a topping that lays flat across a surface, and toast quickly because of their thinness. Slivered almonds are matchstick-shaped pieces cut lengthwise, denser per piece, better for stirring into batters or scattering through dishes where you want individual nut texture rather than a flat coating.
This product is sliced (the flat-flake version), which means it's the right choice for green bean almondine, almond-crusted fish, granola toppings, salad sprinkles, and most baking applications where you want the almonds to lay flat. If you specifically need slivered almonds for a recipe, that's a different product.
Ours are natural sliced almonds, raw and blanched (skins removed), packed fresh in resealable bags at our Monroe, NY facility. No salt, no oil, no roast, no additives. Available in 1 lb through 5 lb sizes for home bakers, professional kitchens, and anyone going through sliced almonds at a pace that small grocery bags can't sustain.

Sliced vs Slivered (And When Each Matters)
A surprising number of recipes get this distinction wrong, and it actually affects the result.
Sliced almonds (this product) work best for:
-
Toasted almond toppings on salads, fish, vegetables
-
Green bean almondine
-
Almond crust on baked fish or chicken
-
Granola where you want flat almond shavings throughout
-
Toppings on muffins, scones, and sweet breads where the flat pieces toast and stand out visually
-
Almond brittle and praline where you want the almonds to lay flat in the caramel layer
Slivered almonds work better for:
-
Pilafs and rice dishes where you want individual nut pieces stirred through
-
Pasta dishes with almonds as a textural element
-
Cookies and dense baked goods where matchstick pieces hold their shape better than flakes
-
Fillings for danish, strudel, and similar pastries
If a recipe doesn't specify which type, sliced is the more common default for North American baking and works in most applications.
Why Blanched (Skins Removed) Matters
Blanched almonds have had their brown skin removed, leaving the cream-colored kernel. The blanching step matters for sliced almonds specifically because the skin would tear and shed during slicing, leaving brown flecks throughout the bag. Blanched-then-sliced almonds give you clean white flakes with no skin contamination.
For most baking applications, blanched is what recipes expect. Almond paste, marzipan, French macarons, and most European baking traditions use blanched almonds. The skin contributes a slightly bitter note that's fine in some applications but undesirable in delicate desserts.

The vitamin E content is unusually high. A single ounce of almonds delivers more vitamin E than most multivitamins, which matters for skin health, antioxidant function, and immune support.
How People Use Them
Green bean almondine is the classic French side dish. Toast 1/2 cup of sliced almonds in butter until golden, toss with steamed green beans, lemon juice, and salt. Three-ingredient side dish that's been on French restaurant menus for over a century.
Granola and homemade cereal. Stir into oat mix before baking. The sliced format toasts faster than whole or chopped almonds, so add them in the last 5 minutes of granola baking to avoid burning.
Almond crust for fish or chicken. Mix sliced almonds with breadcrumbs and herbs, press onto fish fillets or chicken cutlets before pan-frying or baking. The sliced format adheres better to the protein than slivered or whole almonds.
Salad toppings. Toast briefly in a dry pan and scatter over spinach salads, fruit salads, or grain bowls. The flat shape distributes more evenly than chunky almond pieces.
French and European baking. Croissants topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar (almond croissants), apple tarts with almond topping, almond meringue cookies, and pithiviers all rely on sliced almonds for the topping or filling.
Smoothie thickener. Blend 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds into smoothies for added protein and a creamy texture without using protein powder. Particularly good in banana, mango, or berry smoothies.
Trail mix and granola bar mix. The sliced format adds visual texture variety to trail mix that whole or chopped almonds don't provide.
Yogurt and oatmeal toppings. Sprinkle over Greek yogurt with honey, or over hot oatmeal with cinnamon and brown sugar. The sliced format browns slightly when it contacts hot food, which adds flavor depth.
How Freshness Holds Up
Sliced almonds go rancid faster than whole almonds because more surface area is exposed to air. Seal the bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. 6 to 9 months pantry life with proper sealing. For the 3 lb or 5 lb bulk sizes, move half to the freezer on arrival. Freezing extends shelf life to 2 years without changing texture.
If sliced almonds taste bitter or develop a soapy flavor, they've gone rancid and should be discarded. Trust the taste over the calendar date.
