Ordering Almonds

When ordering almonds, specify variety, grade and size.

USDA Grades are used as industry standards.

Sized kernals are marketed by weight. For example, size 23/25 means there are 23 to 25 kernals per ounce.

Basic sizing equipment sorts product by width. RPAC is able to provide additional length sizing for customers with maximum or minimum kernel length requirements.

We will provide USDA or lab testing at your request. Product is packed in 50 lb. (22.68 kg.) or 25 lb. (11.34 kg.) cartons or one metric ton fiber bins.

We can also accommodate the customer's needs for shipment timing, and combining other products with almond orders.

We ship FOB plant or FOB port.
