Description
Almonds have a prominent place in Indian households and kitchens. They are eaten as a snack, gifted on special occasions, and used in a variety of food preparations.
Blanched almonds are simply almonds that have had their outer skin removed. Blanching refers to the process of removing the skins using hot water. This blanching is carried out so that the almonds can be used to make almond butter or marzipan. It can also make almonds easier to digest and absorb.
Almonds contain nutrients that can help regulate blood pressure and sugar levels. The protein in almonds, along with the high fiber content, makes it useful to people looking to lose weight.
When you buy blanched almonds online from Zafran Naturals, you can be sure that they are 100% chemical-free and that they have been only minimally and hygienically processed to remove the skins.
