What is Almond Flour?
Almond flour is exactly what it sounds like – a type of flour made entirely from almonds. This type of flour is made from raw almonds by grinding them into a fine powder. Blanched almonds (almonds with skins removed) are generally preferred for making almond flour but whole almonds can also be used – flour made with whole almonds is often called almond meal.
