Queen almond is an almond sold under that name, not a different kind of nut. This product is classified as unprocessed. The name alone does not guarantee a particular size, flavour or growing method, so its qualities can vary.
Queen almond has the mild, nutty flavour associated with almonds. The “Queen” name does not by itself promise a sweeter or stronger taste; freshness and how the almonds are prepared make a noticeable difference.
Yes, the thin brown skin on Queen almonds is edible, so peeling is optional. If you prefer them blanched, briefly soak the almonds in hot water and slip off the loosened skins.
Yes, Queen almonds work for homemade almond milk. Soak them, drain, blend with fresh water, then strain the mixture. Refrigerate the finished drink and use it promptly, since homemade almond milk is perishable.
Yes, you can grind Queen almonds into almond flour. Pulse them in short bursts and stop before their oil turns the mixture into a paste. For finer flour, use blanched almonds with the skins removed.
Roast Queen almonds in a dry pan or in the oven, stirring or turning them so they brown evenly. Take them off the heat when they smell fragrant and begin to colour; they crisp as they cool.
Yes, Queen almonds can generally replace regular almonds in recipes calling for whole almonds, chopped almonds or ground almonds. If a recipe depends on a specific size or shape for decoration, adjust the preparation to match.
Keep Queen almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Heat, light and air can make their natural oils turn rancid; refrigeration is useful in a warm kitchen, especially for opened packages.
Yes, Queen almonds freeze well when protected from moisture and odours. Seal them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag, then thaw only the amount you need at room temperature.
Babies should not be given whole Queen almonds because whole nuts are a choking hazard. Once a baby is ready for solids, serve almond only in a smooth, thinned form or finely ground into suitable food.

Queen almond refers to an almond variety: the edible seed of the almond tree. Almonds are commonly eaten raw or roasted, on their own, as a snack mix, or added to breakfast bowls, baking and savoury dishes. They have a gently sweet, nutty flavour and a crisp bite; roasting brings out a deeper aroma.
Like other almonds, Queen almonds are rich in fats and fibre and provide plant protein, making a small handful a satisfying snack. Enjoy them plain or pair them with yoghurt, fruit or oats. Choose unsalted almonds if you want a simpler everyday option, or chop them over salads for extra crunch.
