Australian almonds always available

Australian almonds are always available.

However you need to take care when picking the packet off the shelf as things are not always as they seem.  There are almonds from other countries and it is possible to find as I did, that one particular brand night have, say almond meal, in one supermarket as an Australian product and in another supermarket as an Australian and imported product.

Australian almonds come in many different forms; some suited to snacking and others suited to the requirements of busy cooks.

Here's what I found in my search:

Natural almonds
Flaked almonds
Slivered Almonds
Blanched almonds
Natural sliced almonds
Almond meal

In my local quartet of supermarkets I found two main brands, together with the supermarkets' house brand.

My choice for my breakfast muesli will be natural almonds.

Australian sultanas are available but not in nearly the same quantity as almonds. They come in two types: Australian Grown and Australian Grown Natural. I'm intrigued by the labelling. Is there some unnatural way of growing sultanas?  In the local supermarket foursome, sultanas are pretty well limited to one brand and maybe a house brand.

They are also available at my local deli, which is where I usually buy them and where they are clearly labelled Australian sultanas.
