Frequently Asked Questions About Blanched almond
What is a blanched almond?
A blanched almond is an almond with its thin brown skin removed, usually after a brief dip in hot water. It may be sold raw or roasted; blanching describes the removal of the skin, not the cooking method.
How do you blanch almonds at home?
To make blanched almonds, briefly soak whole almonds in boiling water, drain them, and rinse with cold water. Pinch each almond gently between your fingers to slip off the loosened skin, then dry the almonds thoroughly.
Are blanched almonds raw or roasted?
Blanched almonds can be raw or roasted. Blanching only removes the skin, so an almond’s pale appearance does not tell you whether it has been roasted; check the product description for that detail.
What is the difference between blanched and unblanched almonds?
Blanched almonds have had their thin brown skins removed, while unblanched almonds retain them. The blanched kind has a paler color and smoother texture, which can matter in recipes such as marzipan, pastries, and sauces.
Do you need to soak blanched almonds before eating them?
No, blanched almonds do not need soaking before you eat them. Soaking can soften them for particular recipes, but if you plan to grind them or bake with them, dry them well first to avoid adding excess moisture.
How should you store blanched almonds?
Store blanched almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Their natural oils can become stale when exposed to warmth and air, so refrigerate or freeze them if you need to keep them for longer.
Can you eat blanched almonds with the skin removed?
Yes, blanched almonds are ready to eat once they are dry and have not been seasoned or otherwise prepared. Removing the skin changes their texture and removes some of the almond’s fiber, but it does not make them unsafe to eat.
What are blanched almonds used for?
Blanched almonds are commonly used for marzipan, almond paste, baking, and recipes where a smooth texture or pale color is wanted. You can also slice or chop them for toppings, sauces, and savory dishes.
Can blanched almonds replace almond flour?
Not perfectly: blanched almonds are whole pieces, while almond flour is finely ground. You can grind blanched almonds for some recipes, but the resulting texture may be coarser and can affect how baked goods hold together.
Are blanched almonds healthier than almonds with their skins?
Blanched almonds are not automatically healthier than almonds with their skins. Removing the skin also removes some fiber, while the peeled version may be preferable when a smooth texture or neutral appearance matters in a recipe.

What is Blanched almond?
Blanched almond is a whole almond with its thin brown skin removed, usually by briefly loosening it in hot water. It is eaten as a snack, either plain or toasted, and used in baking, sweets, pilafs and savoury dishes across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. You can also chop or flake it to add crunch to porridge, salads or yoghurt.
Like other almonds, it is energy-dense and provides protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fat, as well as vitamin E and magnesium. A small handful makes a satisfying snack; for a lighter dish, use a few slivered almonds as a topping rather than adding a large handful.
