CORNERING THE MARKET Blue Diamond ® Turns Up the Heat with Its New Line of XTREMES™ Almonds Blue Diamond ’s Innovation and R&D team has successfully turned up the heat with a recent launch of the brand’s first dedicated line of extra spicy almonds — Blue Diamond XTREMES™. Available in three super-hot flavors — Cayenne Pepper (Hot), Ghost Pepper (Hotter) and Carolina Reaper (Hottest) — these new almonds are made with real peppers and have a spicy flavor rush that takes snacking to the next level.

Blue Diamond XTREMES™ have the legendary, satisfying almond crunch with a mouth-blazing, fiery flavor rush, all on a superfood. A serving of XTREMES™ has 6g plant protein per serving and are an excellent source of antioxidant Vitamin E and a good source of magnesium.
