ALMOND FLOUR …..USEFUL FACTS

Almond flour is gluten free. Almond flour is not a direct substitute for wheat flour, only use it in tried and tested recipes, meaning do not just substitute almond flour for wheaten flour in a recipe, it will not work. For best result with almond flour, keep it stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Do not pack heavily pack down when measuring almond flour in your measuring cup, just scoop in and level off. Allow baked goods to cool completely before removing from cooking pans, to avoid them falling apart. Almond flour is not the same as almond meal, almond flour is finely ground , skinless and blanched almonds. Almond meal is coarser than almond flour as it made from ground whole almonds with the skins on. I had to purchase almond flour yesterday and I really commend the McKenzie's flour for the useful imformation on using almond meal in cooking/ baking , printed on the back of their package.
