Lets Talk About ALMOND MEAL/FLOUR Almond flour has a nutritional advantage over many processed flours in that it contains the same nutrient profile as whole almonds. Whole or ground, almonds have more nutrients per serving than any other tree nut. Almond meal is coarse and prepared from whole almonds with skins. Made from blanched almonds after the skins been removed, almond flour has a finer texture. Since its certified gluten-free and kosher, this low-carb flour is great for both paleo and health conscious diets. It also helps those individuals who are sensitive to gluten or have been diagnosed with celiac disease and need to remove wheat products from their daily lifestyle. It works great for baking and making breads, cakes, cookies, macaroons, pancakes and more. Consuming a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, like those found in almond flour, can help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of blood clots and lower blood pressure. The American Heart Association recognizes that whole and ground almonds meet total fat, cholesterol, sodium and vitamin requirements, qualifying them as heart-healthy food
