DESCRIPTION:> Blue Diamond Roasted-Salted Almonds are moderately roasted with canola, safflower, or sunflower oil (but not oily or greasy), and lightly salted. These are "heart healthy" oils which are actually good for you, as is the almond oil itself. Roasted Salted Almonds are available in bags or small cans small.> Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds are similar with wonderful smokey flavor. At this time Smokehouse Almonds are available from Amazon only in 16 oz (and smaller) bags.> I have not tried the "lightly salted" variety but I presume that they have almost no salt.CANS vs BAGSVarious types of Blue Diamond Almonds are available in bags or small cans. The small cans (3 1/4" in diameter by 2 3/8" high) are very convenient and assure that the almonds stay fresh until openned, and afterward, because they don't stay "openned" long (it is easy to eat a whole can at one setting). Arguably the bags more environmentally friendly, but you don't get much of a price break for the much cheaper packaging. I prefer the convenience and freshness of the cans.EVALUATION: Excellent and flavorful. Well roasted and crunchy. I cannot decide which I like best: the Roasted Salted or the Smokehouse. Although not oily, the roasting oil does effect the flavor. Whether that's a good thing or not is a matter of individual tastes. I happen to like the roasted-in-oil flavor.LESS ROASTED ALMONDSIf you prefer less-roasted almonds, roasted without added oil, consider Back To Nature California Almonds, Sea Salt Roasted, 11-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3)UNROASTED ALMONDSUnroasted almonds are available Back To Nature California Almonds, Unroasted & Unsalted, 11-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) but beware that thorough roasting makes almonds more digestable. Unroasted almonds are susceptable to fungus which can be carcinogenic. While commercial domestic almonds sold in the US do not contain significant levels of cyanide, bitter almonds, (which have a much richer almond flavor, particular in baked goods). Indeed natural almond extract is made from bitter almonds---artificial almond extract is safer. Bitter almonds are sometimes illegally sold in the US and are often encountered in other countries, and do contain dangerous levels of cyanide when raw. 7-10 raw bitter almonds can kill a child. Moreover, a child raised on raw almonds may conclude that raw peach pits (essentially a variety of almonds) are safe to eat---they are NOT. The safest practice is NOT to eat unroasted almonds..> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

Delicious. Good value. Fresh.

This review is for Carolina Reaper flavor.If you LOVE spicy food and nothing is ever hot enough for you, these might be perfect for you. Bottom line, buy these only if you want something REALLY HOT - and don't say I didn't warn you.I love spicy food. Usually, even the hottest foods are mild to me. No hot sauce is hot enough. I ate Taco Bell Diablo sauce with a spoon. I use 6 packets of chilli sauce in Wendy's Chilli. Extr Flamin Hot Cheetos are disappointing to me. I cut 6-10 fresh cayenne and sereno peppers into 1 serving of ramen. Nothing is too hot for me, until now...BUT these almonds ARE TRULY, PAINFULLY HOT, even for ME!!! Warning! I opened the container and ate just 1 almond. For a moment that one almond seemed like a 911 crisis event. My tongue, lips, and throat were ablaze. It was HOURS before I found the nerve to try a second almond. Yes, they are that hot.These things are HOT for real, not the usual "extreme hot" that really isn't. These are literally painful. Before you buy, just make sure you really want all that heat. After that 1st almond, I honestly thought I might have to toss them, but I have now (4 days later) managed to eat 1/2 the nuts. (These are excellent if you are dieting and tend to gobble up nuts too fast.)I doubt I will buy these again, as they are a bit extreme even for me. I started to give them 5 stars, because they are exactly as advertised. If you are buying Carolina Reaper, you should expect extreme heat. I decided to deduct 1 point for flavor. The flavor is ok, appearantly just peppers and almonds. I think a little sugar might have helped the flavor.FYI, the antidote to spicy food - in case you try these. MILK or milk products like sour cream actually neutralize capsaicin, the chemical responsible for the heat in red peppers. Crackers or bread will also help by absorbing the spicy chemical. Water is NOT considered helpful, as it will just spread the heat around your mouth. Good luck!

Got these with a couple other goodies for my husband for Valentiness Day. He loves spicy food and said they are very good.

Very tasty, not overly sweet. Just a hint of honey butter but still good. These are nice for a little snack in the afternoons

These look and taste different than what I have been eating for years, the nuts are different, the taste is different, texture is different, and the coloring is different. Not as good. But they are spicy almonds.

So delicious. Tasted fresh and not stale, would buy again
