Almonds, 1kg

Love it, always fresh, always sweet, not too soft, not to dry, buying every week

Whole almonds, right to the last one in this big kilo bag. Good size almonds which have been well graded. No broken nuts, no dust, no crumbles. There's evidence that Almonds are good at lowering LDL cholesterol (the 'bad' cholesterol) but have other health benefits as well as supplying oils, vitamins and minerals, and they do it more effectively than other nuts or seeds. My other half had seen something on TV about whole almonds, then done a bit of research on these nuts and asked me to find some. "Won't flaked almonds or ground almonds do?" I squeaked, thinking of all the flaked and ground almonds I already have in the storecupboard for when I make almondy things. "No," said Mr Grump. "They've got to be whole, shelled ones, with the skin on." "But some of them are almost twenty quid a kilo," "Look again," came the voice of He Who Must Be Obeyed. "I've found some, but they're not organic. Do they have to be organic?" "No, But not toasted, not salted." "American or Spanish?" "Don't care." Well, these arrived today, they're USA, (although confusingly there's small print which says they're the product of various countries) been pasteurised so they won't sprout or go 'off' if kept dry. I'll keep them in the same bag with a Klippit closure. Expiry date is two years from date of writing (Dec '15), but they haven't been roasted, toasted or salted, so they're pretty much as nature intended. I opened the packet and had a trial run, and they're really nice and fresh. Sweet and creamy and almondy. Much better than 'shop.' I'm eating these while writing this review. If he doesn't get back from his afternoon fishing expedition shortly, I'll have to be on here again ordering another kilo because they're so nice, there won't be many left, and he'll go nuts.

Not as tasty as some other reviewers had me expecting. But still OK to use cheaper than from supermarkets.

very good taste, quality great price definitely a plus, useful in every kitchen, Good size and dry.

If you like almonds, these are good value good almonds. Old India comes through again.

They were good.

These are lovely would buy again,

Perhaps it's just the name putting me off but these do not taste like the other almonds I normally buy. They seem smaller and much harder. Not great and tempted to bin the rest.
