ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The USDA has two grades for shelled almonds:
- U.S. No. 1 (NPS) and U.S. Select Sheller Run (CSSR). NPS, also known as Supreme, is a higher quality almond with a lighter colour and fewer scratches compared to CSSR
- CSSR is a mid-quality grade that is suitable for applications where minimal sorting or processing is required, such as confectionery products and is also suitable for further processing
