Almond flour is a fine powder made from ground blanched almonds (skins removed) and is a popular gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, suitable for low-carb and keto baking. It has a subtle, nutty flavor and is rich in nutrients, protein, and fiber.
How it's made
Almonds are blanched to remove their reddish-brown skin, resulting in a lighter, more uniform color.
The blanched almonds are then finely ground into a powder.
The process is similar to making ground almonds, but almond flour is typically a finer grind.
