Is almond meal the same thing as almond flour?

Lots of people use the terms synonymously and the bottomline is that both are just finely ground almonds. The difference is whether you want almond meal with or without the skins. Without the skins is more expensive, but if you're baking cakes or just want a lighter taste, then it's best to go with the almond meal without skins. If you're OK with a more heartier taste, then save some money and get almond meal with the skins on. I've been using Trader Joe's almond meal for about a year and still can't believe it's only $4.00 for a full pound. I've searched extensively and no one's price comes close. It tastes like fresh almonds. Honeyville Farms has great almond flour without the skins and the grind is consistent (as it Trader Joes'). The problem I find with Bob's Red Mill almond meal without the skins is that the grind is inconsistent and you can really tell. Hope this helps!

almond meal is slightly more coarse than almond flour, but they are both 100% ground almonds. in recipes that ask for almond flour, i prefer to use almond meal because i like the texture better. they can't both be used in place of the other.

Meal is more coarse. I think the skins are ground with it. Flour is finer. I use the meal for bread making. Flour's too fine for my needs.

Almond Meal is coarser than almond flour. Almond meal is ground with the skin on and the almond flour is ground without.

Yes, the coconut flour is blanched. It's very light and fluffy. I thought I wouldn't buy anything other than J K Gourmet Almond Flour. This is just as good, larger bag, (it's a staple at my house,) and less expensive than most I've seen. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Scott.s replied to me and here are his replies: Nothing has changed it is still almond paste, and powdered sugar.Then I asked what are the ingredients in the almond paste and here is his reply: The company that makes it is American Almond, and the exact ingredients are...almonds, sugar, water, bitter almond oil (synthetic), potassium sorbate. That is the only ingredients in the Almond Paste. I am happy you enjoy the Marzipan.

No but I was able to use online recipes. As a substitute for flour you may use chick peas

I have ground almonds to make almond flour for macarons using only small batches

"Can you replace all-purpose flour (APF) with almond flour in a recipe? Possibly, but it will depend on the recipe and the other ingredients. Almond flour is denser than APF and many other baking flours and so it behaves differently in each recipe. The biggest difference is that APF contains gluten as a binding agent, and almond flour doesn't contain gluten so it relies on other ingredients to hold it together."

Tapioca flour and tapioca starch are the same thing. So, yes this is starch (and flour). ;)

As far as I can tell they are similar, except the whole oat powder has less of the oat removed prior to processing. This product also appears to be slightly more coarse than oat flour, so it would likely not be suitable as a wheat flour replacement.

You can NOT just substitute this for regular flour in your baking. You should get on the Internet and research recipes calling for Almond Flour. It is wonderful to make gluten free cakes and brownies with, but needs adjustments when substituting for flour. Regular flour tastes like powder and this is ground nuts.

When I made cookies with this flour they reminded me of marzipan a bit. I'd say it tastes more like almonds than smells like almonds but this is definitely identifiable as a nut flour vs wheat flour. I think it's very delicious and has a light flavor of almonds, not overwhelming at all.

No. Potato starch and potato flour are different products and you don't want to substitute one for the other.

Yes they are. These are just raw almonds without any added seasoning that might have gluten. Hope that helps!

The picture I see is for the almond flour and that is what I received when I ordered this product.

It is a starch as it is not made from grain. Sometimes the words "starch" and "flour " are interchangeable. Corn starch isn't the same as corn flour or meal. It is probably separated and uses the starchy part of the grain.

potato starch flour and potato starch is the same thing, but potato flour is different.

Im not sure if you are asking almond milk or almond meal. It can make both. The Vita-Mix (Dry Container)is one of the best piece of equiptment to use, As you can grind as much as you need and get the consistency you want.To make almond meal/flour, process until you have the consistency you want, but be careful not to grind too much or you will make almond butter. Keep almond meal stored in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it from going rancid quickly.- See more at: http://www.cookinggodsway.com/how-to-make-almond-mealflour/#sthash.EA4cC1HI.dpuf

No, these are not blanched. Bobs Red Mill has good blanched almond meal. So does Kroger/Smith's Stores under the Simple Truth brand. And yes, it does make a difference in different recipes. Some do better with one or the other.
