H-E-B Sea Salt & Rosemary Flavored Blanched Almonds
What it is
These almonds have had their skins removed, a process called blanching, which results in a smoother texture and a lighter color. They are then seasoned with sea salt and the aromatic herb rosemary. This combination creates a savory and slightly herbaceous flavor profile. The almonds themselves are whole and ready to be enjoyed.
How people cook with it
