Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 flour is a fine powder made by grinding cereal grains or other suitable edible plant matter _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of dave Bond Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 8:01 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Info on Almond Flour Oh, I re-read the beginning of this message and it says ground almonds may be called almond meal. that makes sense. Dave Info on Almond Flour Almond Flour - Almond flour, sometimes called almond meal, is simply ground, blanched almonds. It is available in many gourmet and specialty food stores, as well as in some supermarkets. Or, you can make almond flour in a food processor by processing blanched whole or slivered almonds in small batches just until finely ground. You can use natural almonds instead of blanched if you prefer; they taste just as good and contain more fiber. Almond flour may be used as a flavorful, nutritious thickener in soups, stews, sauces and salad dressings. Or, it may be substituted partially (up to half) in recipes for baked goods that call for all-purpose flour.
