Excuse me, what do you mean by "hulls"? Is it the actual wooden shell (which
is obviously inedible) or the brownish skin that sticks to the nut? 

thanks

 It is the brownish skin surrounding the nut.
To blanch almonds.. Heat water and turn off fire. Put the almonds in and
stir. Very quickly you should be able to squeeze the almond out of skin
easily. The almonds are not in the water long enough to cook at all
