FREQUENT QUESTIONSEQUENT ABOUT OUR RAW EXTRA FINE ORGANIC ALMOND POWDER
Thanks to its extra fine, our powder is ideal for delicate preparations.
Use it to:
- Perfect your Macarons: Its fineness is crucial for achieving smooth and even shells.
- Moist Cakes: It brings incomparable moistness to financiers, madeleines or gluten-free cakes.
- Creams and Pastries: It is perfect for making almond creams (frangipane) or rich pastry doughs.
Add our freshly ground almond powder is an excellent way to enrich your drinks and breakfasts. One or two spoonfuls in your smoothie, porridge or yoghurt will give you a boost of plant-based protein and fibre. Its fineness ensures a smooth and lump-free texture.
Yes, it is an excellent alternative! Our almond flour is naturally gluten-free and is highly valued in low GI (Glycaemic Index) cooking. However, as it is denser than wheat flour, it is often advised not to substitute it 100% without adjusting the liquids and to combine the flour with another gluten-free flour (rice, corn) depending on the recipe.
Raw flour retains the skin of the almond: it is richer in fibre and antioxidants. It is also freshly ground, which ensures the absence of oxidation and a superior aromatic intensity. Blanched flour (without skin) is often less nutritious and has a more neutral taste. So we are part of the raw team for maximum flavour and benefits! ;-)
THE SECRET OF GREAT PASTRY CHEFS: FRESHLY GROUND ALMOND FLOUR
Our Organic Raw Extra Fine Almond Flour has nothing to do with standardised almond flours. It is ground on the farm from our whole almonds (with the skin), just after shelling. This unique process guarantees a maximum freshness and fully preserves the flavours and the good fatty acids.
Unlike industrial powders, which are often bleached and oxidised, ours offers a rich and deep flavour perfect for your most delicate creations. The grain size extra fine ensures light and homogeneous textures, essential for the success of macarons or almond pastes.
More than just an ingredient, it is the asset of your kitchen:
- Macarons and Cakes: The extreme fineness guarantees smooth shells and soft textures (financiers, madeleines).
- Flour Alternative: Rich in fibre and naturally gluten-free, it easily replaces wheat flour in many recipes.
- Nutritional Contribution: Incorporates the benefits of organic almonds (proteins, magnesium) into your daily diet.
