Almonds are packed with nutrients. They are an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, vitamins (such as vitamin E), minerals (including magnesium and calcium), and dietary fibre. They are also low in carbohydrates.

Almonds are versatile and can be enjoyed in various forms. They can be eaten raw, roasted, or as part of various dishes, such as salads, cereals, and desserts. Almond butter and almond milk are also popular alternatives to traditional dairy products.

Flaked almonds are almonds that have been sliced into thin, flat pieces. These slices are typically obtained by blanching the almonds (removing their skins), and then slicing them into thin, delicate flakes. The texture of flaked almonds is light and crisp, and they have a mild, slightly sweet flavour.

They are commonly used as a topping or garnish for a variety of dishes. They add both texture and flavour to salads, baked goods (like cakes, muffins, and cookies), granola, and oatmeal. They are also often sprinkled over yoghurt, smoothies, or fruit salads for added crunch and nutritional value. In savoury dishes, flaked almonds can be used to top curries, vegetable dishes, or grain bowls, adding a nice contrast to the flavors.

Nutritionally, flaked almonds are similar to whole almonds but may have a slightly lower fibre content due to the removal of the skins. They are a good source of healthy fats, protein, vitamin E, and magnesium, and they provide a light, crunchy addition to meals. Flaked almonds can be found either raw or toasted, with toasted flakes offering a nuttier, more pronounced flavor.
