how do you remove an almond’s skin?
Posted under skin nutritionthey say the skin prevents thorough digestion so you’re supposed to remove the skin. but how? you can’t peel it or anything.
and please tell me a way that doesn’t destroy the almond’s nutrition values!
You can soak them in water overnight, or to speed the process boil them a for 2 or so minutes. Doing this will pretty much allow you to just roll the skin off with your fingers.
Typically, they’re already dried out, or roasted, so this won’t really make them so different to eat (soft, or whatever). Drying depletes no nutritional value, where as roasting/cooking does. (I’m not sure on the exact logistics of this right off the top of my head, however, I was a raw foodist for about a year, and books on the topic explain this well) Dipping them in hot water for a minute, may get rid of some nutritional value. Soaking overnight will not, as many raw foodists do this to "cook" their foods (grains, nuts, seeds, etc), without technically adding the aspect of heat.
and, just a bit of more info:
I used to live in the Dominican Republic where almond trees are in wide abundance, we’d actually gather the almonds that fell from the trees, crack them open (tons of work..!!!) and have them. Fresh almonds are much softer, and less nutty tasting. In the states, and in Europe, typically the dried almonds are sold.
ummmmmmmmm try grating it off….. with a cheeze grater

either boil them or steam them and it will come right off =)

My mom does that all the time. She soaks the almonds overnight. The next day, she picks at the skin with her fingernail until it can come off. This method seems to take a lot of work, but trust me, it is successful.

Blanch them: pour boiling water on them, set aside for about 3 mins and the skins slip off easily when you press between you thumb and forefinger
