Made using the same, Central California-grown Almonds that we sell whole, our supplier takes the extra step of dry toasting these Almonds to crunchy perfection, heating them up just enough to make them pliable for slicing without shattering, then cuts them into thin, aesthetically pleasing slivers. It’s almost impossible to cut almonds into slivers this regular and uniform at home, using regular kitchen tools, which makes our Slivered Almonds all the more convenient. That’s all the more important, considering that their shape not only looks great when placed atop a cookie, bowl of oatmeal, or salad, but also nicely accentuates their texture and flavor. Whether you’re using them for their visual, culinary, or simple snacking qualities, Trader Joe’s Unsalted Dry Toasted Slivered Almonds are tasty, convenient, and a great value — which is exactly why we’ve kept them on the shelf for over 15 years.
