Wholesale American Nuts & Seeds: Jordan Almonds & More

We don’t really have raw snacking nuts in this group. The 48 SKUs are candy-coated almonds, the pastel kind that turns up at weddings and holidays and on specialty candy counters about as much as in any snack aisle.

What’s Actually in This Category

Jordan almonds and thin-shell Italian-style almonds make up most of it. For spring we’d point you to Easter Pastel Almond Mix Carrot and Pastel Jordan Almond Mix. Jordan Almonds Assort Tub and Jordan Almonds Mix sell any month. On the thin-shell side you get Thin Shell Italian Almond Mix Bag and Thin Shell Italian Colors Almond Mix Tub, with Spring Color Thin Shell Almonds Tub as well. Italian Almonds, Thin Shell Pink Confetti is sold two ways, in a bag or an 8oz tub. It’s really a favor-table and holiday-display list, so we wouldn’t send anyone here for trail mix.

Italian Shades Almonds and Italian Spring Shades Almonds add more colors past the Easter mix. We’d use them to keep the almond spot changing through spring and into early summer while staying with the same products. The Jordan Almonds Include: 3 Pck of Jordan Almonds Assort Tub bundle is three assort tubs in a single case-level order. Accounts that go through the classic mix fast will find reordering easier with it.

Brands Behind the Assortment

Sconza and Albanese are two of the brands here. Both are established confection makers who’ve been doing almonds and gummies a long time, so the pastel and Jordan almonds come off proper production lines. Bulk Food is the third name, and it usually means the bigger packaging that goes into bins and tubs.

Seasonal vs. Year-Round Demand

Easter Pastel Almond Mix Carrot is plainly an Easter thing. Jordan almonds and the thin-shell lines go out all year for weddings and baby showers. Gift baskets use them too. We’d keep the classic tubs on hand at all times and bring in the pastel mixes a little before each holiday.

The shells here are sugar. Heat’s less of a worry than it is with chocolate, but in a damp stockroom the color can sweat or go dull before the candy ever gets to the shelf. We’d keep cases of the Jordan Almonds Assort Tub or the Thin Shell Italian Colors Almond Mix Tub somewhere dry and not too warm. Try to sell through one holiday’s colors before the next mix shows up. And don’t stack pastel batches on top of each other if you can help it.

Clear bins show these off best. A favor table or a gift basket works too, since the pastel and confetti color is a big part of why people buy them. Tossed into a mixed candy bin they kind of disappear. A bulk-bin shop could run Easter Pastel Almond Mix Carrot on a spring end cap and then switch to Italian Shades Almonds or plain Jordan Almonds Mix when Easter’s over, so the almond spot never sits empty between seasons.

Who Orders Almonds and Seeds at Wholesale Volume

These almonds mostly go to event and specialty shops. Grocery, less so.

• Bulk-bin stores and candy shops where Jordan almonds live on the counter
• Wedding favor suppliers (event ones too) picking up pastel and confetti mixes in case lots
• Gift basket assemblers who repack from the tubs
• Specialty grocers building out an Italian or confection candy shelf

A lot of these are tied to a season or a color, so buyers here tend to reorder small and often, timed to their own event dates.

Pricing and Ordering Almonds Wholesale

A case runs $14.49 to $66.39, depending mostly on the pack. Bagged mixes are near the low end and the multi-unit tub sets like the Jordan Almonds Assort Tub ones cost more. You can check out online with a card, and approved wholesale accounts see account pricing. If you want a bigger volume just ask for a quote. None of the 48 SKUs carries a minimum.

If you’re new to these we’d pair one evergreen item, Jordan Almonds Mix or the Assort Tub, with whichever pastel mix fits the next holiday. That way you see how both sides sell without buying too much of either.
