Almond Flour (Ground)

Description Ground almond flour, also called almond flour, almond meal or ground almonds, is made by finely grinding sweet almonds into a soft, nutty flour used widely in baking and confectionery. Depending on the process, it may be made from blanched almonds with the skins removed for a pale, fine flour.. Almond flour has deep roots in European and Mediterranean baking and is a key ingredient in classics like macarons, frangipane fillings, marzipan and almond cakes. It adds moisture, richness and a natural almond flavour to biscuits, pastries, cakes and tart fillings. Because it contains no wheat, it is also widely used as a gluten-free alternative to traditional flour. Bakers use it in cookies, brownies, pancakes and low-carb recipes, while cooks often sprinkle it into crumble toppings or use it as a coating for meats and fish in place of breadcrumbs.
