almond flour

Lately, a lot of baking recipes use almond flour. Not only because it is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, but also because it is high in healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and high-quality proteins. Almond flour is also low in carbohydrates (but high in calories). The almonds are peeled first (blanched) in order to obtain a smooth colour. Then they are grounded to create a smooth flour structure. You can use almond flour can to make marzipan or macaroons. It also gives your cakes a crunchy and creamy flavor.
