Description

As this product is finely grounded, it can be interchangeably used with almond flour. This is a popular alternative to traditional wheat flour because it contains more nutrients such as protein, fiber and vitamin E as compared to regular wheat flour. The almonds are blanched and hence lighter in terms of both its weight and texture as compared to unblanched almonds. This product comes in two other textures, extra-fine (90% of particles are smaller than 1.7mm in diameter), which is finer than almond meal, and superfine (65% of particles are smaller than 1mm in diameter), which is even more fine than extra-fine almond flour. It is a delicious alternative for pastry and baking.


Details

Description

Almonds are particularly rich in vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. In baking recipes, almond meal acts as a healthier and gluten-free alternative for regular wheat flour. As it lacks gluten, the final product baked with this product is denser and flatter than those made with wheat flour. Alternatively, almond meal can be used in place of breadcrumbs for the breading process. This product is best stored in a cool, dark place in a well-sealed container.

How to use

This product should be mixed into your product as instructed in your recipe. It can be used in the breading process for an additional texture and flavour, or for keto-friendly recipes. The final product should be the deciding factor as to whether to use Almond Meal, Extra-Fine Almond Flour or Superfine Almond Flour. The more finely ground, the more delicate the end product will be.

Suggested Recipes

This product is suitable for low carbohydrate products such as almond cookies or almond flour bread, as well as breaded chicken recipes, or keto-friendly banana bread, pancakes and pizza crusts. It's great as an alternative to panko crumbs as well.

Alternatives

Good alternatives for almond meal include buckwheat flour and cashew powder.

Suitable For

This product is suitable for gluten-free, vegan, keto and paleo recipes.
