A few months ago I discovered some delicious Dill Pickle Almonds at Whole Foods. My whole family loved them, but they did contain a little sugar. Why sugar in a dill pickle flavored almond? Beats me. So of course it was time to create my own sugar-free version! Citric acid is the ingredient here that gives these almonds their pickle-like sourness and tang.

Roasted or raw almonds to start/
Egg whites…… refrigeration then?
I think you could substitute sumac, which is a lightly sour herb, for citric acid.
I did use mostly sumac, and some True Lime powder, but it wasn’t at all pickle-puckery. Yummy, but not at all like a dill pickle.
I was thinking about those dill pickle almonds at WF too and I looked for powdered vinegar online. It’s a real thing! You can get it from Amazon! I can’t wait to try it on almonds with dill and salt and I’m thinking pork rinds too!
Would love to have a BBQ Almonds version of this recipe.
This is perfect timing. I have a huge bag of almonds I was looking to find a recipe to use. Where do I get citric acid?
Amazon!
Is Amazon the only place that you can buy the powdered vinegar? What’s the cost?
