09-08-2025I bought this big pack of these raw almonds, which I didn’t expect to go through them this fast — but here I am, almost out already! They’re super fresh and have a naturally great flavor even before roasting.The way I'm eating it mostly, I’ve been spreading them on a tray, giving them a quick spray of oil, and sprinkling some table salt before popping them in the oven. it comes out perfectly crunchy, salted almonds that taste amazing, I still eating some just raw and they are also good, but not that with that crunch.They come out tasting just like fresh, high-quality roasted almonds you'd buy from a specialty store.If you’re into snacking smart and love customizing your food, these are a no-brainer. I’ll definitely be ordering another pack soon.

09-08-2025I eat lots of almonds. I usually get the unsalted from TJ's, and also purchase the 16 oz. size of Blue Diamond Low Salt from the local drug store. Never had any problem with either. When I saw the 40 oz. size on Amazon at a low price, I immediately purchased a bag. Just got it in the mail, and they are horrible. They have a very bad aftertaste, and when you bite half way into one and look at it, they are a little darker than normal. They don't taste rotten though, so I suspect that it might be the oil they were roasted in, which is listed as Canola and/or Safflower. The Best By date is OK, about a year and a half away. I'm wondering why they even need to be roasted in vegetable oil. The ones from TJ's are listed as dry roasted, and they don't list any oils in the ingredients. I probably won't take a chance again on the 40 oz. size, but will continue to buy the smaller Blue Diamond bags at the local store. One more problem I had with this bag is they are supposed to be resealable, but one side broke away from the bag the first time I opened it, so it is not resealable. That has happened occasionally to me with other products though, so am not finding fault with Blue Diamond for that.December 2019 Update: Because of the excellent price on this item, I decided to try it again. The new one tasted normal, so I raised the rating to 4 stars, and will continue to buy at this price provided I don't run into problems with the product again.May 2021 Update: Like I said, I eat lots of almonds. I have purchased the lightly salted version 18 times since the original review. The first one was bad, as detailed above. The next 16 times the almonds were fine. With the last one, they were of questionable quality, with the almonds taking on a lighter color and the oil they are roasted in smelling like fish oil. I have also tried their Natural almonds, which are healthier in that they aren't roasted in oil and don't have added salt, however I like the crunch from the roasted almonds. I contacted Blue Diamond and suggested they offer a dry roasted variety, which gives you the crunch and avoids the oil, and competes with other companies offering that type of almonds (e.g. TJ's). They thought this was a good idea, so hopefully we will be seeing this as an option in the future.Update on the Whole Natural Almonds: as mentioned above, I did try the Natural almonds. I really did not enjoy those because they were soft. However I found various recipes on how to roast them, and just tried it. Put about 3 cups of almonds on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Spread them out. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 325° for about 10 minutes, turn off the heat, then leave them in the oven for another 10 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, take them out of the pan so they won't continue to cook, but keep them spread out. I put them in another sheet pan to cool. I was disappointed at first because they still seemed soft, but after cooling sufficiently, they get fairly crunchy. I kept the almonds plain, but some recipes mixed the nuts with 1 Tbsp olive oil before baking. You could also sprinkle with garlic powder.
