Almond meal, also known as almond flour, is a versatile, gluten-free ingredient made from finely ground almonds. It typically comes from blanched almonds, which have had their skins removed, resulting in a pale, smooth consistency. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, almond meal is widely used in baking, savory recipes, and as a breadcrumb substitute. Rich in nutrients, it provides healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium. Low in carbohydrates, it’s a favorite for keto and paleo diets. Almond meal boasts heart-healthy properties, aiding in cholesterol regulation and promoting sustained energy. However, it is calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Its nutty flavor enhances various dishes, making it a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional wheat-based flours.
