Sliced Almonds FAQ
When cooking with sliced almonds, people often struggle with knowing when to add them to a dish, how to toast them and if they can be substituted with other nuts. Almonds can burn quickly so take care when toasting them and make sure to stir frequently. Adding them towards the end of the cooking time can prevent them from becoming soggy or overly toasted, keeping their crunch and flavor intact. Toasting sliced almonds enhances their flavor. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), spread the almonds in an even layer on the baking sheet, and bake for 5-10 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent them from burning. For those with allergies to almonds, other sliced or chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts can be used as replacements. However, remember that each type of nut can give a different flavor to your recipe. Remember, sliced almonds are not only used in sweet dishes but they can also be used in savory ones like pastas, salads and to garnish meats. Here's a little known trick: to get the most nutrients out of almonds, soak them overnight. This process, called sprouting, makes their nutrients more available for absorption. And if you want to slice almonds at home, blanch the almonds in boiling water for a minute, then rinse under cold water. The skin will easily peel off and the almonds can be thinly sliced.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does sliced almonds expire?
Sliced almonds usually last between six to nine months. They have a best-by date on the package, but that's more of a guideline for peak freshness, rather than an indicator of when the nuts will become inedible. Once opened, the almonds should be consumed within two to three months for optimal taste, assuming proper storage conditions. This differs from whole almonds which typically last longer due to their protective shell. If you decide to freeze your sliced almonds, they can last up to a year.
How do you tell if sliced almonds is bad?
Checking if sliced almonds have gone bad is quite straightforward. Generally, if the almonds have a sour or rancid smell, or if they have a yellowish hue, it’s best to throw them out. Also, carefully run your fingers through the almonds; if they leave a greasy residue, that's another sign they're rancid. Lastly, take a small taste. If they taste sour or bitter, it’s time to discard them.
Tips for storing sliced almonds to extend shelf life
• Store your sliced almonds in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer. The less contact with air, the better. • Keep your almonds away from heat or direct sunlight. A cool, dark place like a pantry is a good option. • If you don't use almonds often, consider storing them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. • For long term storage, you can freeze sliced almonds. Make sure to package them properly in freezer-safe bags or containers to prevent them from absorbing odors from the freezer. When ready to use, simply remove the amount you need and let them thaw at room temperature.
