Where To Buy Almond Flour In Bulk

Sometimes known as almond meal, almond flour is a popular choice for customers on gluten-free diets, as it works for the same uses as wheat flour. Many gluten-free cookbooks feature almond flour in their recipes as a cup-for-cup alternative.

Compared to other flours, our bulk almond flour is especially flavorful, with a nutty taste that works well with many other foods. Unblanched almond flour is also very easy to use, and it doesn't require any sifting or kneading.

Almond flour is a popular alternative to flour due to its subtly sweet taste, high nutrition content, and low-carb attributes. To use it as a substitute for wheat flour, replace the indicated amount of wheat flour in the recipe with the same quantity of almond flour. Baked goods made from almond flour should sit longer once removed from the oven because of their more delicate nature.

This almond flour has a storage shelf life of up to twelve months in the sealed package in a cool dry place. Almond flour can be refrigerated or frozen for long-term freshness and shelf life, but for best results allow the flour to return to room temperature prior to use.

This almond flour arrives ready-to-use in 12 ounce (updated Wildly Organic branding) or 5 pound (silver Wilderness Family Natural branded) vapor-barrier, resealable packaging to maintain freshness. 25 pounds available in a plastic bag (with no branding), zip-tied, and boxed. All packaging includes an oxygen absorber.

Compared to white all-purpose flour, almond flour is high in protein and monounsaturated fats to help leave you feeling satisfied. Just one ounce of almonds has 6 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fiber!

I think almond flour is a great choice for low-carb baking. A 1/4 cup of blanched almond flour has 6 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber, so it has 3 grams of net carbs. For comparison, a 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour has nearly 24 grams of carbohydrates and less than 1 gram of fiber.

As you can see, almond flour is the lowest carb flour, followed closely by coconut flour. Keep in mind however, that you can not substitute almond flour for coconut flour. Instead, look for coconut flour recipes that have been specifically developed to use that high-fiber flour.

Making your own almond flour at home is as simple as adding blanched almonds to your food processor or blender, and processing them until they are finely ground. However, there are a few tips & best practices to keep in mind:

Hi Megan! So, If you make almond flour using whole raw almonds, with the skins on them, will it just be grainier, or will it be the same with little specks of the skin color? Lots of Love, Thank yah bunches, Grace

I make my own almond milk to have in tea (the only milk aside from the more expensive cashew milk to give me a satisfying result with my regular beverage of choice) and I use the resulting almond lees to make almond flour with. I dehydrate the almond mass left over from processing the milk in the slow oven (drying oven) of my wood burning stove until it is well dried and crush the malty mix up to use as almond flour. Its light, fluffy and very flour like and fantastic for using for baking. The maltiness comes from soaking the raw almonds overnight before making the milk and its a very tasty flavour in baked goods.

Thank you soooo much for this. I live on the island of Crete. While Cretans have some stuff that is different there is no way they have almond flour. I can now make my own. Looking forward as we are LCHF now for almost two years and I have been looking for a flour substitute as long as that!!!! HOORAH!!!!!

I use whole almonds to make my almond flour. I soak them overnight, dehydrate them, use the food processor initially and then to my Blentec to finish it off to a nice flour. I store in the freezer so there is no chance of it becoming rancid. Nuts.com is a great place to purchase quality products.

If you have a Grocery Outlet where you live you can get silvered almonds for $3.98 a pound. I will try and ground these in a coffee grinder a Vita Mix I cannot afford. Has anyone ha success with this method?

Yes, I do this all the time. Works great. I will likely never buy almond flour again, but rather make it in my own grinder. If you cannot find blanched almonds, like me, you can use raw whole and it will turn out a little cakier, but still useable.

I have read that you can use the Omega juicer to make nut butters. Would you be able to make almond flour then too or just the butter? Have you tried this machine to make flour and does it work and can you use raw almonds in it? Thanks!

I used whole almonds to make almond flour with my Blendtec Blender. I had read a suggestion somewhere to run the flout through a mesh sieve (strainer), and then throw any large pieces back in and re-grind. It worked great. Starting with Slivered almonds makes sense because you get a finer grain product right off.

Almond flour can be used as an alternative to wheat flour. It has a subtly sweet, slightly nutty flavor that enhances the overall flavor of baked goods such as muffins, breads and pancakes. By substituting almond flour for wheat flour, those on a low carbohydrate or gluten-free diet can enjoy delicious baked goods. This flavorful flour has many health benefits. Almond Flour is also known as Almond Meal.

Blanched almonds are ground into a gluten-free flour, that acts as a low-carb substitute for wheat flour in bread or other baked goods. Finely ground almonds are high in protein, packed with vitamins and low in monounsaturated fats. Perfect for classic pastries or a variety of paleo or keto applications. Available in bulk packaging, ideal for bakeries, restaurants and food manufacturers.

Learn How To Make Almond Flour At Home Cheaper (than supermarket bought almond flour) using a food processor or a high powered blender like Vitamix. Once you learn my DIY Almond Flour (or almond meal) techniques, you will be able to make it yourself in minutes and never have to spend extra money on it again.

It made me think, what if I could find a way to make almond flour at home cheaper than what it is sold at the store. After some online search and a lot of testing, I am happy to tell you that you no longer need to spend extra to buy almond flour from the supermarket.

Almond flour (or almond meal) is made with only one ingredient and that is almonds. The types based on their shape and cut might differ but regardless almond flour is made from almonds.

Before I continue to talk about the equipment used to make almond flour, I want to make sure that you understand the difference between almond flour and almond meal. Almond meal is made by processing (pulverizing) raw and unsalted almonds with their skins on, whereas almond flour is made by processing blanched almonds (almonds with their skins removed).

Based on my years of experience of baking with almond flour, I found out that most of the time they can be used interchangeably. When I write my recipes, I make sure to include a note about whether you should use one or the other. Luckily nowadays, most other food bloggers/recipe authors do the same. However, if it is not specified in your recipe I recommend using almond flour instead of almond meal.

The term ground almonds is another name for the almond meal (aka almond flour made by using almonds with the skin on). Therefore, the difference between the two comes from the type of almonds used (with or without the skin) to make almond flour/meal.

The process is simple: To grind almonds into flour, place a cup of almonds in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse for 50-60 times in 1-second increments. The most important thing here is to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl of the processor every 10 seconds to make sure that (1) they are ground evenly and (2) the almond flour does not turn into almond butter.

In my experiments, my almonds turned into flour after 50 or 60 1-second pulses, but feel free to stop earlier or continue longer. The whole process of grinding almonds in a food processor takes around 2-3 minutes.

To make almond flour in a Vitamix, you place 1 cup of (raw, blanched, or slivered) almonds in the bowl of the blender, set the switch control switch to 2 or 3 (or a lower speed setting) and pulse for 20-25 1-second pulses. As it was with the food processor, I recommend stopping the blender and scraping the sides of the bowl a few times during the process.

If you need super fine almond flour (mostly used in making French macarons), you can still make it at home, but it will require a little bit more work. To do so, I would recommend sifting the almond flour using a fine or medium-mesh strainer and processing the big pieces several times (using the same methods mentioned earlier) until no large pieces are left.

PRO TIP: One other way to make almond flour is by using the leftover almond pulp leftover from making almond milk at home. If you are interested in learning how I dry, store, and use almond pulp in recipes for a no-waste food kitchen be sure to check out the posts below:

After I made my own almond flour using the two methods used above, I decided to put both versions to test. First, I made my Almond Flour Chocolate Cake and then the second I made my Easy Banana Nut Muffins. I thought these recipes were ideal as they both used almond flour as the main flour type in the recipe.

Before I talk about the amount of money I saved by making almond flour at home, I want to talk about the amount of almond flour I was able to get from 1 cup of almonds. Please know that the weight measurements below are the results of my own testing using my own kitchen scale. Also, since the difference between the weight of raw almonds and blanched almonds is very small the numbers below are based on blanched almonds. 781b155fdc
