Blanched sliced almonds are the most versatile almond format for baking, cooking, and everyday use. The brown skin is removed during blanching, leaving a smooth ivory-white kernel with a mild, clean flavor and a thin uniform cross-section that toasts evenly, distributes cleanly through batters and doughs, and covers more surface area per piece than any other almond format. Ingredients: Almonds. Contains: Almond. Available in 1 lb, 2 lb, and 5 lb. For the natural skin-on sliced option, see Raw Almonds, Sliced (Natural). For the full range of nut varieties, browse the Nuts collection.
What You're Buying
Two processing steps separate blanched sliced almonds from whole raw almonds, and both matter for how the almond performs in the kitchen.
Blanching uses a brief hot-water bath to loosen and remove the papery brown skin from the almond kernel. The result is a smooth, ivory-white almond with no skin bitterness, no tannin astringency, and no brown specks that would show in light-colored baked goods. The blanching step does not cook the almond: no heat is applied long enough to alter the fat profile, protein content, or vitamin E in any significant way.
Slicing cuts the blanched kernel into thin, uniform cross-sections across the width of the nut. Sliced almonds have significantly more surface area per gram than whole or slivered almonds. That surface area is what makes them toast faster and more evenly, distribute more completely through batter without sinking, and cover a wider area when pressed into pastry or scattered over a dish as a finishing topping. The combination of blanched and sliced produces the almond that is ready to use directly from the bag in any baking or cooking application no chopping, pre-toasting, or skin removal needed at the point of use.
Good Source of 8 Key Nutrients
Per one ounce serving (1 oz / 28g):
- Protein: 2g per oz. Contributes to daily protein intake as part of a balanced diet.
- Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin concentrated in the almond kernel's fat fraction and preserved through the blanching process.
- Heart-Healthy Fats: 4g total fat per oz, including unsaturated fatty acids. Zero saturated fat and zero trans fat per serving.
- Dietary Fiber: 1g per oz. Supports digestive health and contributes to satiety.
- Calcium: 20mg per oz (2% DV). Contributes to daily calcium intake from a whole food source.
- Iron: 0.3mg per oz (2% DV). Contributes to daily iron intake as part of a varied diet.
- Antioxidants: Present in the almond kernel. Blanching removes the tannins and phytates concentrated in the skin, making the mineral content more readily absorbed from blanched almonds than from skin-on almonds at the same serving size.
- Magnesium: Present per serving. Supports muscle function and energy metabolism as part of a balanced daily diet.

How to Use Raw Blanched Sliced Almonds
Baking: The Professional Standard
Sliced blanched almonds are the default almond format in professional pastry kitchens because they are predictable. They distribute evenly through cake and muffin batters without sinking. They toast to a uniform golden color across the oven without burning at the edges while the center stays pale. They press cleanly into pastry doughs and tart surfaces without tearing the surrounding structure. Classic preparations that specifically call for sliced blanched almonds: Tarte Bourdaloue, financiers, frangipane fillings, almond croissant toppings, and almond tuiles. The skin-off format keeps baked goods lighter in color, which matters in white cakes and delicate pastries where brown almond skin specks would show against the crumb.
Salads and Grain Bowls
Scattered over green salads and grain bowls, raw sliced almonds add crunch without the dominant flavor that whole roasted almonds would introduce. Their thin format distributes through a dressed salad without clumping and lies flat against greens rather than rolling off. For a deeper, nuttier flavor: toast them dry in a skillet over medium-high heat for three to four minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden. Toasted sliced blanched almonds on a spinach salad with dried cranberries, crumbled feta, and a lemon vinaigrette is one of the simplest and most effective applications of the format.
Crusts and Coatings
Pressed into the surface of fish fillets, chicken breasts, and cheese logs before baking, sliced blanched almonds form a uniformly golden crust. Every piece has the same thickness and lies flat against the surface, so the crust toasts evenly from edge to center. The uneven crust that chopped almonds produce thick pieces and thin pieces toasting at different rates is eliminated by the sliced format. For a simple almond-crusted salmon: coat the fillet in Dijon mustard, press sliced blanched almonds across the surface, and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 14 minutes until the crust is golden.
Oatmeal, Yogurt, and Breakfast
Stirred into warm oatmeal, layered over yogurt with fruit and honey, or scattered across an acai bowl, sliced blanched almonds integrate more evenly into breakfast preparations than whole almonds because their thin profile lies flat within the surrounding food. The fat and protein they add slows glucose release from carbohydrates and fruit sugars, producing a more sustained energy curve than the same breakfast without nuts.
Finishing Toppings
Green beans amandine. Rice pilaf with toasted sliced almonds scattered over the top before serving. Chocolate bark with sliced almonds pressed into the surface before setting. Hummus finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a scattering of toasted sliced almonds. The thin profile, neutral color, and mild flavor of sliced blanched almonds contribute crunch and visual interest across more finished-dish applications than any other almond format, without competing with the base ingredient.
Choosing the Right Size
The 1 lb bag provides approximately 16 one-ounce servings: two to three weeks of daily use for one person or four to six moderate baking sessions. For a household that bakes with almonds occasionally and uses them daily in yogurt or oatmeal, the 1 lb size replenishes at a natural pace without requiring freezer storage.
The 2 lb bag suits regular bakers, households of two or more people who both use sliced almonds daily, or buyers who want to reduce restocking frequency and benefit from the lower per-ounce cost. The per-ounce price at 2 lb drops meaningfully relative to the 1 lb option.
The 5 lb bag suits serious home bakers, small food businesses, and households that go through sliced almonds at a pace where buying in larger quantities is genuinely practical. At 5 lb, divide on arrival: freeze the bulk portion in smaller sealed portions and pull a working weekly quantity into the pantry as needed. Frozen blanched sliced almonds thaw at room temperature in minutes and go directly into baking applications with no additional preparation.
Storage
Blanched sliced almonds have slightly less natural protection than skin-on whole almonds because the outer skin has been removed. Storage discipline matters more for the sliced blanched format than for whole almonds.
- Room temperature, sealed resealable bag, away from direct sunlight and heat: 2 to 4 weeks of peak quality after opening.
- Refrigerated in the sealed bag: up to 3 months.
- Frozen in an airtight container: up to 12 months with no flavor or texture degradation after thawing.
One caution specific to blanched almonds: the skin-off kernel absorbs ambient odors more readily than skin-on almonds. Keep the resealable bag sealed between uses and stored away from strong-smelling foods including onions, garlic, and pungent cheeses. A sliced almond that has absorbed garlic odor will affect the flavor of every preparation it goes into.
