FAQs For Super Fine Blanched Almond Flour
If you’re new to almond flour, below are the answers to the most common questions about it. Read further down for information on how to bake with almond flour as well.
What Does Almond Flour Taste Like?
On its own, blanched almond flour has a hint of almond flavor. Its flavor profile is very neutral, so when you use it in cooking and baking, often times it’s undetectable depending on what else is used in the recipe. Sometimes you can still taste the almond in baked sweets, which turns out delicious.
How Is Almond Flour Made?
We blanch almonds in boiling water to remove the skins, then grind and sift them into a super fine almond flour.
Is Almond Meal The Same As Almond Flour?
No, they are not the same. Almond meal is more coarse than blanched super fine almond flour, because almond meal is ground with the skins intact. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in baked goods.
Baking with almond meal can result in a grainy or gritty result. Our finely ground almond flour is the optimal quality and grind for baking.
Is Almond Flour Keto Friendly? Low Carb?
Yes! Our keto almond flour has only 2 grams net carbs per serving.
Is Almond Flour Gluten Free?
Yes! All Wholesome Yum products are grain-free and gluten-free, including this almond flour.
Is Almond Flour Good For Diabetics?
Yes, our super fine almond flour has a zero glycemic index! Compare that to white flour, which has a glycemic index of 85.
How To Store Almond Flour?
Store almond flour in your pantry, in cool, dark place. You may also freeze it to make it last even longer, if you like.
How Long Does Almond Flour Last?
Blanched almond flour will last at least 12 months, but it may be longer if it’s properly stored, especially if it’s unopened.

How Many Carbs In Almond Flour?

How To Use Keto Almond Flour
If you’re wondering what to do with almond flour, there are many uses for it! Use Wholesome Yum Super Fine Blanched Almond Flour for baking bread, pancakes, muffins, cookies, crackers, breading chicken or fish, and more.
Can You Substitute Almond Flour For All-Purpose Flour?
Yes, definitely! Learning how to bake with almond flour is easy, since it’s roughly a 1:1 replacement for regular flour in most recipes.
This is where the quality and brand you choose can make a big difference. The best almond flour – like our Wholesome Yum brand – will have a super fine grind to get a good texture when baking.
However, sometimes the recipe needs modifications. Almond flour does not have the starch content or gluten that wheat flour has, so it doesn’t create stretchy doughs or chewy texture on its own. There are other ingredients that can be added to almond flour recipes to achieve an end result similar to what you’d get with regular flour.
Can You Substitute Coconut Flour For Almond Flour?
Usually not. Coconut flour absorbs about 3-4 times the amount of moisture that almond flour does, so substituting one for the other would change the recipe drastically.
Even if you reduce the amount by 1/3 or 1/4 to achieve a similar consistency, this would have other side effects, such as different sweetness level. Coconut flour also has a different texture even if you convert the ratio. For best results, stick to recipes developed for each type of flour.
Can You Fry With Almond Flour?
Absolutely! Blanched almond flour is excellent for breading and frying. It doesn’t crisp up quite as much as wheat flour breading does, but is still delicious and works great.
Can Almond Flour Be Used As A Thickener?
No. Wheat flour thickens due to its starch content, which is not present in almond flour, so you can’t thicken a sauce or make a roux with it. You’d need a different thickener for this.
What To Make With Almond Flour
You can make almost any baked recipe or dessert with super fine almond flour, including bread, pancakes, muffins, cookies, crackers, breading chicken or fish, and more. For sugar-free desserts, replace the sugar with our best-selling Besti monk fruit sweetener.
