About this product
Flaked almonds are almonds sliced into thin, pale curls. They are light and delicate, which makes them ideal for finishing dishes: a golden scatter over a tart, a crown on a cake, or a crunchy lift for a bowl of porridge.
Raw, they are mild and slightly milky. Toasted, they turn gold and fragrant in a few minutes, and the edges go crisp and nutty. Watch them closely, as the thin slices go from pale to burnt very fast in a hot pan or oven.
They are the traditional topping for Bakewell-style tarts and many Danish pastries, and they work in savoury dishes too. Try them over green beans with butter, in a rice pilaf, or in a creamy chicken dish for a bit of texture.
We slice them ourselves from blanched almonds so the flakes stay whole rather than crumbling to dust. They are packed in a resealable bag to keep them dry and crisp.
