Blue Diamond Launches Limited-Edition Ranch Flavored Almonds

Blue Diamond Growers, the world’s leading almond marketer and processor, has launched Ranch Flavored Almonds. With cool, zesty herbs and spices, these limited-edition almonds pack a delicious, ranch-flavored punch along with a satisfying, crave-worthy crunch.

Blue Diamond is a world-class leader in consumer trend analysis and flavor forecasting, which has led to award-winning flavor additions including the 2023 People magazine Food Award winner Chilé ‘N Lime, a now permanent product in the snack portfolio, and the 2024 Good HousekeepingBest Snack Award winning Thin Dipped Double Dark Chocolate.

Recent research found 70 percent of ranch usage occurs outside the salad bowl, presenting an exciting opportunity to introduce a flavor that consumers are craving across all food varieties, just in time for summer.

“We’re so excited to bring a flavor that is loved by so many to our Blue Diamond snack portfolio,” said Maya Erwin, vice president, marketing & innovation. “We’re always looking for new ways to incorporate trending flavors into our products, and with Ranch, we hope our customers feel inspired to take their taste buds to a new level of deliciousness.”

Blue Diamond’s Ranch Flavored Almonds are not only flavorful, but also nutritious. Each serving contains six grams of plant protein and is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin E. These almonds meet various dietary needs, being Kosher, Keto-certified, and Non-GMO Project Verified.

Available in a variety of sizes, the 6-ounce, 40-ounce and 45-ounce options are portable and resealable, making Ranch Almonds the perfect addition for summer entertainment, family gatherings or whenever hunger strikes! The limited-edition flavor will be available in select sizes at the following retail locations:
