Raw Almonds: For Soaking, Almond Milk and Baking

Raw almonds are one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen — soak them, blend them into milk, bake them into cakes or roast them yourself. AlSultanFood Raw Almonds are carefully selected whole almonds, only minimally processed, with no sugar and no artificial flavours.

In this article we share how to soak almonds, a simple almond milk method, baking ideas, which size to choose and how to store them.

Why choose raw almonds?

• Natural taste — mild and naturally slightly sweet, with no salt.
• Versatile — great for soaking, almond milk, baking and cooking.
• You control the flavour — roast them yourself if you like, with your choice of salt or spices.

How to soak almonds

1. 1Put a handful of almonds in a bowl and cover with clean water.
2. 2Leave for a few hours or overnight.
3. 3Drain and rinse. The almonds will be softer; you can slip off the skins if you like.
4. 4Eat them in the morning, or keep in the fridge and finish them soon.

Homemade almond milk

Soak the almonds overnight, drain, then blend with fresh water until smooth. Strain through a nut-milk bag or fine sieve. Add a date or a little honey if you’d like it sweeter. Keep it in the fridge and drink it within a few days.

Baking and cooking ideas

• Almond cakes and Raya cookies — raw almonds bake right along with the dough.
• Homemade granola with oats, honey and seeds.
• Spiced roasted almonds — toast them yourself with a pinch of salt and spice.
• A topping for biryani or festive rice dishes.

Choosing a size

Our raw almonds come in 150g, 250g, 500g and 1kg. If you soak almonds daily or make almond milk regularly, 500g or 1kg is better value. For one or two recipes, 150g or 250g is plenty.

How to store them

Keep them in a tightly closed jar somewhere cool and dry. For longer storage, the fridge is best. Check the expiry date on the pack.

Quick recipe: your own spiced roasted almonds

1. 1Heat a dry pan over low heat.
2. 2Add raw almonds and keep stirring for a few minutes until fragrant.
3. 3Take off the heat and toss with a pinch of salt and your choice of spice (chilli powder or cumin, for example).
4. 4Cool completely before storing in an airtight jar.

This way you control exactly how salty and spicy they are for your family.

Common mistakes with raw almonds

• Soaking too long without changing the water — change it if soaking beyond overnight.
• Leaving soaked almonds at room temperature — refrigerate them and eat them soon.
• Roasting on high heat — almonds burn on the outside before they’re done inside.
