Overview

Almond flour is made from ground almonds. The process involves blanching almonds in boiling water to remove the skins, then grinding and sifting them into a fine flour. Almond flour is not the same as almond meal, despite the fact that their names are sometimes used interchangeably. Almond meal is made by grinding almonds with their skins intact, resulting in a coarser flour. This difference is important in recipes where texture makes a big difference. Almond meal, almond flour or ground almond is made from ground sweet almonds. Almond flour is usually made with blanched almonds (no skin), whereas almond meal can be made with whole or blanched almonds. The consistency is more like corn meal than wheat flour. It is used in pastry and confectionery - in the manufacture of almond macarons and macaroons and other sweet pastries, in cake and pie filling, such as Sachertorte - and is one of the two main ingredients of marzipan and almond paste. Almond flour is one of the most common grain- and gluten-free flours. It's made from ground, blanched almonds, which means the skin has been removed. One cup of almond flour contains about 90 almonds and has a nutty flavor. It's commonly used in baked goods and can be a grain-free alternative to breadcrumbs. Almond flour and other nut flours (also known as nut meals) are made from the cake that remains after oils are pressed from nuts, adding a rich flavor to baked goods and providing a base for breading fish and meat.
