Natural Almond Grades
US FANCY
The highest grade—typically appropriate for products where the visual appeal of the almond is critical to the application.
US EXTRA No. 1
Similar to U.S. Fancy—ideal for food applications where the appearance of the almond is very important.
US No.1 (SUPREME)
Sometimes referred to as Supreme, and often used for whole almond applications or for further processing like blanching and roasting.
US STANDARD SHELLER RUN
Mid-quality grade—good choice for applications where the almonds with minimal sorting/processing can be incorporated with other ingredients; for example, inside a confectionery product a higher level of chipped and scratched kernels is accepted. Also appropriate for further processing, such as blanching, grinding, roasting, dicing and slicing.
US No.1 WHOLE & BROKEN
Grade for making butter, flour or pieces and where broken Almonds is not a concern.
