Smoked almonds are commonly sold in several forms, including dried/shelled, whole, and pieces.
Smoked almonds are typically roasted or smoked and use smoky flavorings such as natural hickory smoke; flavor profiles are often described as smoky, sweet, and tangy.
Listings show dietary labels such as lactose-free and vegan, and certifications/claims like Kosher/Parve and trans-fat free.
Common uses include snacking straight from the bag, mixing into salads or trail mixes, pairing with wine and cheese, and serving with appetizers like cheese and olives for entertaining or office snacks.
Some listings note that California almonds are subject to pasteurization by law. Common methods include steam or propylene oxide (PPO), and at least one supplier specifies their raw almonds are steam treated rather than PPO treated.
