Ground almond

Ground almonds are a type of ingredient made from whole almonds that have been finely ground into a powder-like form. Almonds are nuts that come from almond trees and are known for their crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Ground almonds are commonly used in baking and cooking to add a rich, nutty taste to various dishes.

To make ground almonds, whole almonds are typically blanched to remove the skin before being ground into a fine powder using a food processor or blender. The process of grinding the almonds helps release their natural oils, resulting in a moist and slightly coarse texture. This ground form of almonds is versatile and can be used in various recipes, from cakes and cookies to savory dishes like coatings for meats or fish.

Ground almonds appear on food labels as an ingredient to add flavour, moisture, and texture to a wide range of foods. They are often used in baking to make cakes and cookies more moist and flavorful. Ground almonds are also a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking as they can help bind ingredients together and provide a nutty taste. You can find ground almonds in foods like almond flour cakes, macarons, almond cookies, and even some curries for added nuttiness.
