Shelled almonds

Slivered almonds are almonds that have been sliced into thin longitudinal strips. They are used mainly as a decorative garnish in desserts, pastries, salads and savory dishes. Slivered almonds add a crunchy texture and delicious flavor to dishes. They are often lightly toasted to intensify their flavor and give them a light golden color. You can use them to top cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, yogurt or to add texture and crunch to vegetable salads, rice or stir-fries.
