Tag: almond flour

Almond flour, also known as almond meal, is a very versatile and gluten-free alternative to plain wheat flour. It’s made by finely grinding blanched almonds into a flour-like texture that can be used in all types of cooking. Almond flour is known for its nutty taste and light, airy texture. One of the great benefits of almond flour is its nutritional profile – it’s naturally low in carbohydrates but high in healthy fats, protein and fibre. Almond flour also contains vitamin E, magnesium and other important minerals. In baking, almond flour can replace wheat flour in many recipes. It adds moisture, tenderness and rich flavour to baked goods, making them nice and moist with lots of flavour. Almond flour is often used in gluten-free and grain-free recipes such as cakes, cookies, muffins and pancakes. Almond flour is similar, but is made from almonds with the skin on, so it’s a little coarser with small pieces of almond, giving it more texture and almond flavour. Both are great choices for gluten-free, low-carb or anyone looking for alternative flours with extra nutrients. They are a delicious way to get the goodness of almonds into all sorts of recipes!
