These fine quality almonds are grown on the fertile volcanic soil of the island of Sicily and are sweeter than many other almonds. They can be added to all manner of cooking and baking. Add a handful to a smoothie for protein and fibre, grind into a powder for a naturally gluten-free baking ingredient. And of course this nut makes the perfect basis for home made marzipan!
These unblanched almonds are ideal for making 'almond milk', a healthy, dairy free milk alternative. This is made by soaking the nuts, blending them and straining off the pulp, to leave a subtly sweet milk substitute ideal for drinking and cooking.
