Toasted almonds

Roasted almonds are nuts that have undergone a roasting process to enhance their flavor, aroma, and texture. They are characterized by their more intense flavor and slightly crunchy texture compared to raw almonds, making them a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, ideal for both sweet and savory recipes, such as desserts, salads, sauces, and pastries.

Almonds come from the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), a tree native to the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. This nut has been cultivated since antiquity and is highly valued in different cultures for its nutritional value and its ability to enrich dishes in world cuisine.

Properties: Roasted almonds are an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based proteins, fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron. They also provide antioxidants that help protect the body. Due to their energy and nutritional content, they are a healthy snack and a complement that enhances the flavor and texture in various culinary preparations.

In Hispanic America, roasted almonds are also commonly known as "fried almonds" or simply "almonds", although the term "roasted almonds" is the most commonly used to differentiate their state and preparation.
