Natural Almond Meal is ground from whole almonds with the skin intact. Almond meal is low in carbohydrates, gluten free and an excellent source of protein, fiber and vitamin E. Use it in place of regular flour for low carb baking or try it as a breading for meats and vegetables. It is the quintessential ingredient for many French pastries, like the classic frangipane and the ever-popular macaroons. If fine pastry baking is not up your alley, simply adding some almond meal to your favorite baked good will add a wonderful richness. It can even be used in place of graham cracker crumbs for a decadent non-bake pie crust.
