Toasted almond flakes
Description
Toasted almond flakes have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor with a distinct toasted note, as well as a crunchy, thin texture and a light golden color on the edges. They are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, which support heart health, help control blood sugar levels, increase feelings of fullness, and positively affect skin and metabolism. Their calorie content is moderately high, so it's advisable to use them in reasonable portions as a valuable source of energy and micronutrients. Toasted almond flakes are great as a crunchy addition to salads, oatmeal, yogurts, desserts, cakes, and cookies, as well as a topping for savory dishes or a coating for fish and poultry. They should be stored in an airtight container in a dry, cool, and dark place; at room temperature, they stay fresh for about 2–3 weeks, and in the refrigerator or freezer, they can be stored for several months, which minimizes the rancidity of fats.
