As with the rest of the product line, Nature Cookta Almond Flour has been defatted before grinding into flour, using cold pressing. Due to the defatting process, the omega-6 fatty acid content has been reduced, which can cause inflammation and allergies when heated, but can be safely used for baking. Another advantage of this defatting method is that we obtain a raw material with about 30% higher nutritional value than regular ground almonds, with higher protein, mineral, vitamin, and fiber content. Nature Cookta Almond Flour is made from blanched almonds, which means that the skin has been removed before processing. Due to its high protein content, it can be incorporated into vegetarian and vegan diets, and it also offers an alternative to traditional flour for followers of the paleo lifestyle. For those on a diet or trying to lose weight, it is a perfect solution due to its low carbohydrate and calorie content. Representatives of all three diets can find the suitable way of use. Nature Cookta Almond Flour can be used to bake cookies, pastries, muffins, bread, as well as making creams that benefit from the sweetish taste of almonds. Also, due to its high liquid and fat absorption capacity, it is perfect for thickening. It can be used mixed with other seed flours or on its own. (If baking completely grain-free, add one more egg to the dough than the recipe calls for to prevent crumbling.) The macaron, a popular sweet in France, uses almond flour as one of its main ingredients. While its preparation requires some practice, it is worth dedicating time to, as it results in a unique treat. Almond flour is rich in essential minerals like phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and selenium. Its high fiber content aids digestion. Contains: 100% almond flour.
