Yupik Sliced California Almonds with Skins — 2.2 lb Pack, Raw & Gluten-Free, Thin Crispy Slices

Yupik Sliced California Almonds with Skins are thinly cut, raw almond pieces without added oil, salt, or sugar — a crunchy, nutty topping and baking ingredient in a 2.2 lb pack.

These sliced almonds come from whole California nuts and keep their natural brown skins intact, offering a toasted look and slightly earthy flavor while remaining unblanched. Sold in a single 2.2 lb bag, the product is labeled gluten-free and kosher and is intended for cooking, baking, salad garnishes, cereal, and snacking. The slices are not roasted or oiled, so they retain a neutral starting point for recipes and seasoning.

How do these sliced almonds change the texture and flavor of recipes?

Because the almonds are thinly cut, they add a crisp, delicate crunch instead of the full bite of whole nuts. The skin lends a mild, earthy note while the raw kernel gives a creamy, nutty base flavor, making them flexible in both sweet and savory applications.

• Creates a light, crunchy topping for salads, yogurt, and baked goods
• Mild nutty taste complements muffins, granola, and cereal
• Skin-on slices add visual contrast and subtle earthiness
• Thin cuts disperse evenly for consistent texture in batters

Can I use these almonds for baking and cooking — do they need pre-toasting?

Yes, they are ideal for baking and cooking straight from the bag, but toasting elevates their aroma and deepens flavor. Lightly toasting in a dry pan or oven for a few minutes brings out oils and enhances crunch, while remaining oil-free unless you choose to add fat.

• Use unheated for recipes where a raw nut profile is preferred
• Toast at 325°F for 5–8 minutes for a nuttier aroma
• Stir while toasting to avoid scorching thin slices
• Fold into batters near the end to preserve texture

What nutritional or dietary points should I consider?

These raw, skin-on slices are sold without added salt, oil, or sugar and carry gluten-free and kosher labels. They’re a pantry ingredient that provides plant-based protein, fiber, and several minerals, and they work well in low-carb meal plans when portioned appropriately.

• No added salt, oil, or sugar — clean ingredient profile
• Suitable for gluten-free and kosher diets as labeled
• Good source of protein and fiber for recipe enrichment
• Keep sealed in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness

How should I store and use the 2.2 lb pack to keep slices fresh?

A resealable container or airtight jar is best once opened to prevent oxidation and moisture exposure. For longer storage beyond a few weeks, refrigeration or freezing will preserve crunch and prevent rancidity in bulk quantities.

• Store in a cool, dry cupboard unopened
• Transfer to an airtight container after opening
• Refrigerate or freeze for multi-month storage
• Use within several weeks at room temperature for best texture

Who is this for? Home bakers, meal preppers, and cooks who want a convenient, neutral-flavored nut ingredient will find this 2.2 lb pack useful. It suits people preparing salads, granola, trail mixes, pastries, or savory crusts who prefer the visual appeal and subtle flavor of skin-on almonds. Because the product contains no added salt or oil and is labeled gluten-free and kosher, it also fits into many dietary preferences and pantry styles. Keep portions in airtight storage and toast when you want a deeper flavor profile.
