Blanch Nuts | CraftyBaking | Formerly Baking911
Bakers and confectioners are partial to nutrient dense nuts because of their rich flavor and texture. They are perfect to use in baking recipes because they can be chopped whole, ground into flour, and made into paste. But, you need to get their skins off first, called BLANCHING, because they are bitter. Nuts are sometimes chopped and/or toasted after blanching.
