Evergreens Almond Flour, which is also known as ground almonds, has been packaged especially for Evergreen Healthfoods. Almond flour is made by carefully removing the skin of whole almonds and then grinding them down to create this fine to medium flour. Almond flour does have a nutritional advantage over most processed flours as they contain the same nutrients as whole almonds. Almonds are a rich source of many key nutrients including protein, dietary fibre, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and phosphorous. Almonds are also a source of phyto-chemicals mono-unsaturated fatty acids which have been shown to help lower ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and increase ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL). This flour is ideal for baking, particularly in wheat free and gluten free baking. It also adds great texture and flavour to the baked goods.
