What is Almond Flour?

Almond flour is a type of flour made from ground almonds. It is a popular gluten-free alternative to wheat flour and is commonly used in baking to create cakes, cookies, and breads. Almond flour is typically made from blanched almonds that have had their skins removed, and is often finer and lighter than other nut flours. It is high in protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, making it a nutrient-dense ingredient. Almond flour is also lower in carbohydrates than wheat flour, making it a good option for people who are watching their carb intake or following a low-carb or keto diet.
