Almond flakes are thin, flat slices of almonds that are commonly used as a topping or ingredient in various culinary creations. These delicate and crispy slices are typically made by thinly slicing whole almonds, revealing their light, ivory-colored interior. Almond flakes add a pleasant crunch and a rich, nutty flavor to dishes such as salads, desserts, and baked goods. They are often sprinkled on top of cakes, pastries, yogurt, oatmeal, and salads to enhance both the texture and taste of the dish.
