Omega Almond Powder: ground almonds for macarons, frangipane, gluten-free bakes and kormas. Single 1 kg pack.
Almond powder, or ground almonds, is finely milled almonds used as a flour in baking and a thickener in cooking. It is the base of macarons, frangipane, financiers, almond cakes and many gluten-free bakes. In Indian cooking it enriches kormas, shahi paneer and badam milk, and it thickens creamy sauces without flour. Store it airtight, ideally refrigerated in hot weather, because the natural oils can turn stale. Almond flour is usually made from blanched almonds, while almond meal can be made from whole or blanched nuts, and its texture is closer to corn meal than wheat flour. Refrigeration or freezing in an airtight bag extends its life. Gluten-free bakers value it for moist cakes, while classic French patisserie uses it in frangipane, macarons and financiers. In Indian homes it thickens korma and flavours badam milk.
