Most almond snacks on the market are pre-seasoned and available only in sweet flavors but Blüm's Toasty Almonds radically setting themselves apart by offering an entirely new way for people to snack. According to John Peterson, co-founder of Blüm, "We recognized it was time to introduce the consumer to a fresher seasoned almond product. The almonds in the kit are pasteurized—by law—but unprocessed. The consumer is the one who seasons them and then has an as fresh-as-possible product."
Blüm Toasty Almonds are offered in not just sweet but also savory and spicy varieties like Garlic Parmesan and Spicy Chili Lime. The naturally gluten-free snacks boast five to six grams of protein per serving and they come with individual seasoning sachets and almond oil to adhere the flavors to the dry nuts.
