Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between blanched and unblanched almonds nutritionally?
Blanched almonds have slightly less fiber (10g vs 12.5g per 100g) since the skin is removed, but otherwise have very similar nutritional profiles to unblanched almonds.
Can I blanch almonds at home?
Yes, boil raw almonds for 1 minute, drain, and rinse with cold water. The skins will slip off easily when squeezed. Pat dry and use immediately or store properly.
