Top 5 Best Ways To Use Almonds

August 5, 2009 by FaveHealthyRecipes

Almonds are a delicious and versatile nut perfect for any meal. Whether eaten by themselves as a snack or as part of an intricate dinner recipe, almonds shine no matter the culinary application. The hearty crunch of almonds is a tasty addition to any recipe. Full of protein, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids, almonds are good for you too. Let this guide show you the best ways to use almonds in your everyday cooking.

As A Snack: Sometimes, the best way to use almonds is to enjoy them with little embellishment. The humble nut is full of rich flavor that sometimes an almond is at its best when its enjoyed simply. Bake raw almonds with the spices of your choice in the oven, or toast on the stove top, until golden brown. Coat almonds in a sugary glaze to make irresistible candied almonds that you will not be able to put down. Chop up toasted almonds and include them in a healthy homemade granola recipe.

In A Dessert: Almonds are not loaded with sugar, but its hearty crunch lends itself well to great dessert recipes. The savory crunch of raw almonds matches perfectly with sweet dishes to create an unforgettable dessert. Pair almonds with chocolate to make sweet Almond Bars or include almonds in your favorite cookie recipe to give your cookies a nice crunch. Anytime almonds and desserts are combined, the results are always spectacular.

In Vegetable Dishes: For vegetarians and vegans, getting protein into the diet can be a headache. Luckily, almonds are a fantastic source of protein for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Almonds add a distinctive nutty crunch to vegetable dishes, adding a flavor and texture contrast. Combine healthy vegetables with crunchy almonds in a variety of ways, be it with Brown Rice and Veggies or in a Mushroom Pate. Use almonds as a delicious protein source in a wide variety of savory vegetable dishes.

Almond Milk: By some estimates, over half of the world’s population is lactose intolerant, meaning that billions of people lack the enzymes to properly digest milk. Considering how many recipes call for milk or milk products, people with lactose intolerance can sometimes be left with few cooking options. Almond milk is a great alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or are vegan. Simply grind almonds into a fine powder and combine with water. This protein-rich drink is a delicious and protein-rich alternative to milk that all can enjoy.

Almond Flour: White wheat flour is a crucial ingredient in many dishes, but it has little in terms of nutritional value. Plus, many people need to have a gluten-free diet, preventing them from eating foods with flour. To avoid white flour, use almond flour. Simply grind almonds into a powder and use just like regular flour. Full of nutrients and health benefits, almond flour is way healthier and better for you than white flour. This gluten-free, low-carb flour alternative is great for making breads, desserts or even fried chicken.
