General Information About Organic Partially Defatted Almond Flour

Frequently Asked Questions About Organic Almond Flour (FAQ)

Is almond flour keto-friendly?

Almond flour is considered an all-purpose keto flour and is ideal for ketogenic diets thanks to its valuable nutritional composition.

How long does almond flour keep?

Unlike conventional flours, almond flour has a higher fat content. At high humidity and temperatures above 20°C, it can clump more quickly. After opening, almond flour should be used within six to eight weeks.

Can almond flour be used as a substitute for wheat flour?

Yes, almond flour can be used as a substitute for wheat flour or other flours. When replacing flour with almond flour, the amount or liquid content may need to be adjusted to achieve the desired result.

Why is almond flour sometimes light and sometimes dark?

The color depends on whether it is made from blanched or unpeeled almonds. Blanched almonds are peeled before grinding, resulting in lighter, finer flour. Unpeeled almonds keep their brown skin and usually produce darker, coarser flour.

Is light or dark almond flour better?

Using blanched or unpeeled almonds does not significantly affect the nutritional values. Both are rich in protein and can be used in many recipes as a gluten-free alternative to conventional wheat flour.
