Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How do you toast sliced almonds at home?
Spread in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 8 minutes at 160 °C, keeping an eye on them: they brown quickly because they are so thin.
What is the difference compared with almond flour?
Sliced almonds retain their shape and crunch, and are used for decoration and surface texture. Almond flour is incorporated into the mixture for internal structure (macarons, financiers).
Can they be frozen?
Yes, in an airtight bag for up to 6 months. Let them return to room temperature before use to preserve their crunch.
