~ Almond Flour~

Almond flour is made from the grinding of almonds to a powdery form.  It is available in two (2) varieties – Blanched and unblanched.  The blanched type is made after the almonds have gone through a process that removes the brown skins from the nuts. As such, it is usually fine in texture. 

The unblanched type is just ground almonds with the skins intact, and as such, is usually coarser in texture.  It is also what is known as ‘Almond meal’. So, bear this in mind when purchasing.

In general, almond flour is a rich source of protein and healthful fats.  It is also rich in other nutrients such as magnesium, manganese, vitamin E and phosphorus.  Additionally, it is low in carbohydrates and thus a good choice for persons on a weight loss journey or a low-carb diet. 

It is also purported to be able to help in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

To good health!
