Description
Almond flour is a nutrient dense, low-carb, grain-free, keto-friendly flour made from ground almonds. It is a popular alternative to traditional wheat flour. It is low in carbs, packed with nutrients and has a slightly sweeter taste. Almond flour may also provide more benefits such as reducing bad cholesterol “LDL” and insulin resistance.
Almonds are high in fat, which gives bread, muffins, and brownies a moist and tender texture. It’s also a good source of healthy fats and protein and it is lower in carbohydrates compared to regular wheat flour.
Nutritional benefits: Almond flour is incredibly nutritious. It has a high level of vitamin E and magnesium. A ¼ cup serving of almond flour (the amount typically found in a single serving of a baked good) contains: 14 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of fiber.
