{"product_id":"californian-skin-on-whole-almonds-500g","title":"Californian Skin on Whole Almonds, 500g","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Californian Skin-on Whole Almonds are a proper kitchen staple, sourced from sun-drenched orchards in California's Central Valley where the climate does the hard work of producing plump, sweet, deeply flavoured kernels. We've left them exactly as nature intended - raw, unblanched and unroasted - with that thin papery skin still in place. That skin is where a lot of the character lives: more fibre, more antioxidants, and a rounder, nuttier flavour than blanched almonds, with a satisfying snap when you bite into one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're brilliantly versatile. Toast a handful gently in a dry pan to coax out their warm, biscuity sweetness, then scatter over salads, roasted vegetables or a bowl of yoghurt and honey. Blitz them into homemade almond butter, fold them through granola, or chop and press into the base of a frangipane tart. They make a beautiful praline, a proper romesco, and the kind of trail mix you'll actually look forward to eating - and of course they're hard to beat straight from the bag with a glass of something cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love them:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrown in California's Central Valley, where the long sunny growing season produces sweeter, plumper almonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin left on for fuller flavour, extra fibre and a better snap\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw and unroasted, so you can take them in any direction - sweet or savoury, toasted or as they are\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuinely useful storecupboard staple for baking, snacking and cooking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free, plant-based and a good source of protein, vitamin E, magnesium and healthy fats\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor everyday snacking, eat straight from the bag, or toast 100g in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, shaking often, until you can smell that warm marzipan aroma.
