Ground Almonds 1kg

Our Ground Almonds are made by taking whole almonds, removing their skins, and milling them into a fine meal. It has a mild, slightly sweet, and buttery taste that blends into recipes easily without taking over the flavour of your dish.

If you bake often, you probably already know that ground almonds behave differently than normal flour. Instead of absorbing all the liquid and drying out, the natural fats in the almonds lock moisture into your batters. This makes it the go-to choice for dense, soft bakes like frangipane tarts, flourless chocolate cakes, and muffins that won't go stale overnight.

Beyond baking, it’s a handy ingredient to keep in the kitchen as a natural thickener or a grain-free alternative to breadcrumbs.

Common Ways to Use It:

• In the Oven: Use it for classic Bakewell tarts, almond sponges, macaroons, or cookies. You can also swap a portion of regular flour for ground almonds in standard recipes to give your cakes a softer crumb.

• Savoury Cooking: Stir it directly into curries, like a korma or pasanda, to thicken up the gravy and give it a rich, creamy texture.

• As a Coating: Use it instead of flour or breadcrumbs to coat before pan-frying or baking for a crisp, nutty crust.

Ingredients:

• 100% Blanched Ground Almonds.

Storage:

Nut meals can spoil if they get too warm or are left open to the air. Keep this bag in a cool, dry cupboard away from the cooker.
