What are Blanched Almonds?

Blanched almonds are almonds where the brown skin has been removed. The blanching process usually includes a quick dip in boiling water, a cold bath and a trip through a roller to remove the skin. Keep in mind that removing the skin can remove some of the health benefits.

 
Natural vs Raw Almonds

Natural almonds are those that have been shelled and still have their skins on. Natural almonds can be pasteurized in a variety of ways.

An almond that is considered “raw” has only gone through either steam processing or has been chemically treated by propylene oxide for pasteurization.
