TODAY IN FOOD: It’s National Almond Day
| Go nuts—it’s National Almond Day. This versatile nut is not just a snack or baking ingredient but a flavor-enhancer in sandwiches and salads—and of course, slivered on green beans. Almonds can purchased whole, slivered, chopped and in stick form (we like the elegance of slivers). Try smoked almonds, too: They really perk up egg, tuna, chicken and green salads. Almonds are high in vitamin E, magnesium and manganese. Our favorite foods with almonds:- Almondina low-calorie cookies - Enstrom’s Almond Toffee, our favorite toffee (it’s kosher, and also available in sugar-free) - Lake Champlain Almond Buttercrunch (also kosher) - Dolcielo’s Amureo Brownies, made with apricots marinated with Amaretto Di Saronno plus large chunks of almonds - Frontier Soups Asparagus Almond Soup - Minnie Beasley’s Lace Cookies |
