Almond flakes are peeled and then cut into narrow almond flakes. Although often referred to as nuts, almonds are actually the seeds of the almond fruit. This plant is a perennial species and belongs to the rose family. In natural conditions, it is found in Asia Minor and Central Asia. Therefore, its numerous cultures can be found in Israel, Jordan, Turkey and Uzbekistan. Due to the great interest in almond seeds, the plant has also been cultivated in North Africa, West Asia and in some European countries such as Portugal, France, Croatia and Italy.
The flakes obtained from almonds are characterized by a rich taste and content of valuable nutrients. Above all, they are a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids. In addition, they are able to provide our body with valuable vitamins (such as: vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin E) and essential minerals (including: potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and sodium) . Interestingly, flaked almonds also contain fiber and large amounts of protein, which are necessary for the health of our digestive system.
Almond flakes are distinguished by a delicate cream color and a unique taste and aroma. They are flat and about 1 cm long. It is worth remembering that before reaching our table, this product undergoes a blanching process, which helps to emphasize its taste and unusual aroma.
