What is Almond Powder?

Almond enthusiasts, rejoice! Finely grinding almonds transforms them into almond powder, a concentrated punch of nutty flavor and a treasure trove of health benefits

"Almond flour vs almond powder - what's the difference?"

Almond flour, usually made from blanched almonds (skins removed), boasts a finer texture akin to wheat flour. In contrast, almond powder, made with or without skins, has a slightly coarser feel. Chefspoint's Blue Diamond Almond Powder uses almonds with skins for a richer flavor profile.

Why Use Almond Powder?

Here's why almond powder should be a staple in your Indian pantry:

• Gluten-Free Baking: Almond powder is a fantastic alternative to wheat flour for those following a gluten-free diet. It adds moisture and richness to baked goods like cookies, cakes, and breads.
• Low-Carb Option: Almond powder empowers you to watch your carbs! It's naturally low in carbs compared to wheat flour, making it a perfect swap for those seeking a low-carb option.
• Nutritional Powerhouse: Packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, almond powder adds a nutritious boost to your meals.
• Enhanced Flavor: The nutty flavor of almond powder adds depth and complexity to curries, sauces, smoothies, and even breakfast porridge.
• Thickening Agent: Almond powder absorbs liquids like a champ, making it a natural thickener for soups, stews, and gravies.
