Blue Diamond Blanched Almond Flour Fine

What it is

This is finely ground blanched almond flour. Blanched means the almonds have had their skins removed before being ground. This process results in a lighter color and a smoother texture compared to almond flour made with the skins on. The fine grind ensures it integrates well into batters and doughs.

How people cook with it

Almond flour is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of sweet and savory dishes. Its unique properties lend themselves to various culinary applications.

• Low-carb recipes
• Thickening sauces
• Coating proteins

This fine blanched almond flour is ideal for creating delicate baked goods like macarons, cakes, and cookies. It can also be used as a binder in meatballs or as a coating for chicken or fish before frying. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid or other binders in your recipe. It can also be used to create a crumb crust for pies or cheesecakes.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to almond meal, blanched almond flour is made from almonds with their skins removed, resulting in a paler color and a finer, more uniform texture. This lack of skin contributes to a less dense and often more delicate final product in baking.

How to keep the rest

To maintain freshness, store the remaining almond flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent it from going rancid, as the natural oils in almonds can degrade over time.
