Ground Almonds

Ground almonds are finely milled almonds widely used in baking and confectionery. They give baked goods a delicate nutty flavor, moist texture, and pleasant aroma. They are a key ingredient in marzipan, macarons, financiers, various cookies, and cakes. Compared to regular flour, they are gluten-free, making them a popular alternative for gluten-free baking. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, magnesium, and vitamin E. They can easily be made at home by blending blanched almonds in a food processor, or purchased ready-made. The fineness of the grind affects the final texture of baked goods.
