Almonds still in their shell — and the shell is thin enough to crack between your fingers. Cheaper per kilo of kernel than shelled almonds, and they stay fresh far longer.

Do the arithmetic before you compare
Roughly half the pack weight is shell. A 1kg pack gives you around 500g of edible kernel. So when comparing our in-shell price against a shelled pack elsewhere, double the in-shell price first, then compare.
Done honestly, in-shell usually still works out cheaper — and the freshness comes free. But we would rather you did the sum than felt misled later.
How to crack them
Find the seam — the natural line where the two halves join
Press between thumb and finger, or squeeze lightly in a nutcracker
Never use a hammer — it crushes the kernel with the shell
Crack only what you will eat over the next few days

Questions
What are paper shell almonds?
Almonds sold in their shell, where the shell is thin enough to crack with finger pressure or a light press. No hammer is needed, which is where the name comes from.
How much kernel do I get?
Roughly half the pack weight once cracked. A 1kg pack gives approximately 500g of edible almonds.
Is in shell actually cheaper?
Usually yes, but compare on kernel weight rather than pack weight. In-shell almonds also last considerably longer.
How do I crack them?
Press the seam between thumb and finger, or use light pressure from a nutcracker. Never use a hammer — it crushes the kernel along with the shell.
