Almond Flour Meal

Almond Flour is a wonderfully nutritious substitute to wheat flour and virtually interchangeable in all your favorite recipes. It will add a slight nutty hint of flavor to your culinary masterpieces.

A quarter cup of almond meal contains 6 grams of protein.  Substituting part of your basic wheat flour with almond meal will not only give it a nice nutty taste, it will boost your recipes’ protein level while lowering the carbohydrates. 

Almond meal works best in cookies, brownies and quickbreads.  You can also use it as a substitute for bread crumbs in meatballs and fried chicken. Don’t be afraid to experiment, the results will be delicious.

 Raw Almonds are a powerhouse of nutrition.  Not only are they a great source of protein (6 grams per handful), they are high in Vitamin E, fiber, B Vitamins and calcium.  They are also one of the few nuts that are alkaline, regulating the acidity of your blood and lowering inflammation. 

The central valley of California produces about 80% of the worlds’ almonds and 100% of the country’s commercial supply.

 To keep your almonds fresh, store in a sealed container in a cool dark place.  Keep away from light and humidity.  For long term storage (6-12 months) keep in the freezer or refrigerator.
