Toasted almond flakes
Description
Toasted almond flakes are thinly sliced, golden-brown flakes with a pleasant, crunchy texture and an intense, nutty aroma with a hint of sweetness. Toasting enhances their flavor, adding a slightly caramel note and increasing their crispness, making them an impressive addition both visually and in taste. They are suitable for salads, muesli, yogurts, and desserts, as a topping for cakes and creams, an ingredient in cookies and tarts, as well as a coating for fish and poultry, and for roasted mixes and Asian dishes. Almond flakes are a source of monounsaturated fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, which can support feelings of fullness, heart health, and protect cells from oxidative stress. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place; in warmer climates or after prolonged opening, it is advisable to keep them in the refrigerator to prevent rancidity and loss of crispness.
