Is Almond Meal the Same as Almond Flour?

No, almond flour and almond meal are different. In fact there are two types of almond meal, blanched and natural. Blanched almond meal is without the skin, while natural almond meal has the skin left intact prior to being ground. The main difference in the product is the granulation. Almond meal has a thicker and coarser texture while almond flour should be much finer and more powder like, as one would expect from a flour. Generally speaking, almond flour is a better all-around choice for cooking, baking and substitutions. Additionally, almond flour does not add any “almond” flavoring to food, however natural flour or almond meal will add somewhat of a different flavor due to the skin that’s left on the product. So , it all depends on the consistency and the flavor you want to have!
