What is Almond Flour (aka Blanched Almond Meal)?

Almond flour is made by grinding almonds that have had their skins removed (blanched almonds), resulting in a smooth, pale flour with a fine texture. Sometimes called blanched almond meal, this flour differs from regular almond meal, which includes the almond skins and is darker and coarser.

Blanched almond flour is prized in baking because it produces lighter-coloured and finer-textured results — ideal for delicate pastries, cakes, and biscuits. It’s naturally gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, and high in monounsaturated fats, protein, vitamin E, and magnesium.

Culinary Uses

Blanched almond flour is incredibly versatile in the kitchen:

• Perfect for gluten-free or grain-free baking

• Used in French pastries like macarons or frangipane tarts

• Folded into cakes, cookies, muffins, and brownies

• Combined with other flours for added nutrition and texture

• Coating for schnitzels or vegetable fritters as a low-carb crumb

To substitute in baking: start by replacing 1 cup of regular flour with 1 cup of almond flour, though texture and moisture may vary slightly.

FAQs

What is the difference between almond flour and almond meal?

Almond flour is made from blanched almonds (with the skin removed), resulting in a lighter, finer texture. Almond meal uses whole almonds, skin and all, making it darker and coarser. Both can often be used interchangeably, but almond flour is preferred for light-textured or refined baked goods.

Is this almond flour gluten-free?

Yes. Almonds are naturally gluten-free and this meal is processed in a facility that does not handle gluten. 

Can I use this almond flour in macarons?

Absolutely — in fact, blanched almond flour is essential for classic French-style macarons. Its fine texture and pale colour make it ideal for smooth, delicate pastry shells.

Is almond flour suitable for keto or low-carb diets?

Yes — almond flour is low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats and protein, making it a staple for ketogenic, paleo, and grain-free diets.
