Imported Spanish Marcona Almonds

Marcona Almonds are known as the Queen of almonds; you’ve got to try these creamy, mild, buttery, and crispy almonds from Spain. This is how they are different than regular almonds...
 
 
 
 
 
 
They are flatter and sweeter than California almonds. I’ve bought them at Whole Foods, roasted in sunflower oil and lightly salted with sea salt. They are fantastic! Use them in recipes like you would regular almonds. Especially great as a snack. The ones at Trader Joe’s are saltier. Because they are kept a little moist with oil, they have a shorter shelf life, but, don’t worry, they’re practically addictive; so, they won’t last very long. Find them online at:
