Ground almonds, also known as almond meal or almond flour, are made by finely grinding whole almonds. They are often used in baking and cooking as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, providing a nutty flavor and moist texture to various recipes. Rich in nutrients, ground almonds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and vitamins, particularly vitamin E. They can be used in a variety of dishes, including cakes, cookies, and pancakes, as well as in savory meals like meatballs or as a coating for fish and chicken.
