Are the almonds blanched? I have a recipe that says it will make a difference in how the product turns out???

No this is not blanched. You can but this one here: Anthony's Almonds Blanched Almond Flour, 5 Pounds (5lb)

No, these are not blanched. Bobs Red Mill has good blanched almond meal. So does Kroger/Smith's Stores under the Simple Truth brand. And yes, it does make a difference in different recipes. Some do better with one or the other.

It is almond flour. The almonds used are blanched. The consistency is much better than the meal.

brown label is whole almonds with skin and is a little more textured, yellow is blanched almonds and finer. I have interchanged and not noted difference in taste. I don't mind the slightly coarse texture.

I would check w/ the vendor but I dont think so... I believe they are sourced as raw (unprocessed) California almonds

I've had raw cashews from the farmers market and I just got cashews from Spicy World. They seem stale. I will be returning them right away. Must be just these cashews, the raw almonds I got from Spicy World were super fresh.

I actually make them from scratch. Rather "piddley" but worth the effort. There is no comparison. We did try Krusteaz and the texture was fine, but the taste didn't compare to scratch. Maybe adding extra vanilla would help. :)

Not that I am aware of. I have been ordering Braga's certified organic almonds for a few years and they are the best I have eaten by far. In previous years I had gotten almonds from other sites but these are grown on a family farm in California and are very tasty. I soak 1/3 of a cup at a time, it reenergizes the enzymes and make the almonds more digestible and they plump up. The skins then are easily peeled off.

by law, California almonds have to be flash pasteurized. this means they are technically not raw, but the inside of the nut supposedly does not get "cooked" in this process.

The Almond Flour that I received from Anthony's is blanched and worked well in all of my recipes. The Coconut Flour was good as well.

Yes, I just made some this morning with these almonds and have used these before for almond milk. They make it tasty!

There is no indication on the jar that the almonds are pasteurized. It is a Raw Almond Butter. The manufacturer will have to answer this one I'm afraid.

ground almonds. that's it. there is some separation when i initially open, i just mix and we're good to go. i like that the jar is plastic and not glass.

They are definately NOT roasted. When it comes to almonds there are two types of RAW. These almonds are the RAW that most people are satisfied with. They are healthy and taste great. They there is the raw that specifically states they are RAW. They cost more and don't taste as well. I don't know the process used to pasturize them, but I am very happy with these, and pecans by the same company. I see someone already answered. Yes, they are not totally raw, but not roasted or salted. They "pass" for raw for all but the most concerned purists.

Hmm, Scotts cakes emailed me that it was just almond paste and sugar, quite some time ago. I wonder if they changed their recipe.

Unfortunately, I've already finished that particul brand and don't know. I purchased several different brands, all natual Almond Butter. The one brand, Brad's Organic Roasted Almond Butters states it's organic but nothing about the almonds being pasturized. You may have to contact some of the producers and ask them that question specifically. Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't really taste or smell almond in the baked goods I've used this flour for. If I wanted my baked good to taste of almonds, I would add almond extract, Amaretto, marzipan or some such to infuse the flavor throughout the finished product.

It does not state anywhere on the package that they are organic almonds, so I would suggest looking at their website & check their mission statement. I think if these were indeed organic, they would be proudly posting it on their product. I looked at cost first, but I will choose something different next time. It does have a wonderful consistency for baking though.
