Don’t forget to eat the skins!
Though many people prefer to use blanched almonds in their cooking, the skins actually offer a host of potential health benefits. Flavonoids found in the skins work together with the vitamin E, giving an extra boost to the power of the antioxidants.
Try blending a few roasted almonds with the skins into your next smoothie for added depth of flavor, or top salmon with a slather of combined mustard and mayo and a topping of roughly chopped whole almonds before roasting it in the oven. (Thanks for the recipe, Mom!)
