These almonds are delicious in a salad or just to snack on. They are very “hearty”~~~you get a good and solid crunch. Unfortunately, I found a few little pits or stones in the bag that almost cracked my teeth…little pieces of almond that got “over-processed.” I don’t know if this “defect” was just in the one bag that I bought, but it sorta took the fun out of eating these delicious nuts. Please check them over before you blindly start to munch out of the bag!
