Organic Almonds Flaked 125g/250g

Flaked almonds are whole almonds that have been thinly sliced horizontally, creating delicate ivory slivers with a lighter crunch and faster-toasting properties than whole or ground almonds. These certified organic flaked almonds from Just Natural Organic are a baking essential and garnishing staple — ideal wherever a delicate almond texture and appearance are needed.

Nutritionally equivalent to whole almonds — the same Vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and riboflavin, just in a different physical form. Their thin, flat shape means they toast extremely quickly and evenly, and they spread beautifully over the surface of baked goods.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 125g and 250g.

Scatter over the top of cakes, tarts, and muffins before baking for a golden, crunchy crust. Toast in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes and use as a garnish for Indian rice dishes, roasted carrots, or Middle Eastern salads. Add to granola. Use in French financiers, tuiles, or florentines. Scatter over porridge with honey.

Recipe idea — Toasted Almond & Honey Porridge Topping: Toast 2 tbsp flaked almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant. Drizzle 1 tsp honey into the pan and toss for 30 seconds until the almonds are lightly caramelised. Tip immediately onto a cold surface. Scatter over porridge, yoghurt, or ice cream. Ready in under 5 minutes — a simple, elegant upgrade to any breakfast or dessert.

Key nutrients: High in Vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin (B2), phosphorus, and plant protein. Identical nutritional profile to blanched almonds.

FAQs

Are flaked almonds the same as slivered almonds?
These are similar but distinct. Flaked almonds are cut horizontally into thin flat slivers. Slivered almonds are cut lengthwise into thin sticks. Both are blanched before slicing. Flaked almonds are more common in UK baking; slivered almonds are more typical in North American and Indian cooking.

How do I toast flaked almonds without burning them?
Flaked almonds toast very quickly due to their thin profile — usually 2–3 minutes in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Watch them closely; they go from pale to golden to burnt in under a minute. Remove from the pan the moment they turn golden and spread on a cold surface to stop cooking.

What is the best way to use flaked almonds in baking?
Scatter over the top of cakes, tarts, and muffins before baking — they toast as the item bakes, creating a beautiful golden crust. For this purpose, there is no need to pre-toast. For garnishing finished dishes, pre-toast for maximum flavour.

Are these gluten-free?
Yes — almonds are naturally gluten-free. Packed in a facility handling tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and gluten-containing grains.

Can I use flaked almonds instead of ground almonds in baking?
Only if the recipe specifically allows for texture — flaked almonds will not bind the same way ground almonds do in frangipane or macarons. For recipes requiring ground almonds as a structural ingredient, use the ground variety. For crumble toppings and garnishing, flaked almonds work beautifully.
