Quick answer
2 tablespoon (medium) of Almond (sliced) (14 g) has 81 calories. That works out to 575 calories per 100 g. It contains 3 g of carbs, 3 g of protein, 6.9 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 3.6 mg of Vitamin E covers 24% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
What is Almond (sliced)?
Sliced almonds are thin pieces of almond kernel, used as a topping or ingredient rather than usually eaten as a dish on their own. They turn up in desserts, pastries and rice dishes across many cuisines, and are easy to add to breakfast bowls, salads or a snack mix.
Their flavour is mild and gently sweet, with a delicate crunch; a quick toast in a dry pan brings out a warmer, nuttier aroma. Almonds provide protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fats, along with vitamin E and magnesium, so a small sprinkle adds plenty of richness. Toast only what you need, since the thin slices brown quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Almond (sliced)
How do you toast sliced almonds without burning them?
Toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet over low to medium heat, stirring often. Their thin edges brown quickly, so take them off the heat as soon as they smell nutty and turn lightly golden.
What can you use sliced almonds for?
Sliced almonds work well as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, salads, roasted vegetables, and baked desserts. Toasting them first adds crunch and a fuller flavor; add them near serving time so they stay crisp.
How should you store sliced almonds?
Keep sliced almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place. Their cut surfaces are exposed to air, which can make them lose freshness, so seal the package promptly after use.
Can you freeze sliced almonds?
Yes, sliced almonds can be frozen in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. Take out only what you need and let it come to room temperature before using; avoid repeatedly thawing and refreezing them.
Are sliced almonds the same as slivered almonds?
No. Sliced almonds are thin, flat pieces cut across the nut, while slivered almonds are narrow, stick-shaped pieces. They can often be swapped as a topping, but their shape changes the texture and appearance of a dish.
Can you use sliced almonds instead of whole almonds in baking?
Yes, sliced almonds can replace whole almonds in many baked goods, but they give a lighter, more delicate crunch. They are especially useful mixed into batters or scattered over cakes, rather than in recipes that rely on whole nuts for texture.
Can you eat sliced almonds raw?
Yes, sliced almonds can be eaten without toasting if they are sold raw and have no added seasoning. Check the package, since some sliced almonds are already roasted, salted, or otherwise prepared.
Do sliced almonds need to be soaked before eating?
No, sliced almonds do not need soaking. Soaking softens their thin pieces and removes their crunch, so it is usually unnecessary for snacks, baking, or toppings.
How do you keep sliced almonds crisp on a dessert?
Add toasted sliced almonds just before serving to keep them crisp. If they are placed on a moist topping or stored on a frosted dessert, they will soften as they absorb moisture.
Can sliced almonds go rancid?
Yes, sliced almonds can turn rancid as their oils age, especially if exposed to warmth, light, or air. Discard them if they smell like stale oil or taste noticeably bitter; mold or dampness are also reasons to throw them away.
