Switching to a Paleo lifestyle has been life changing for thousands of people. The benefits of getting rid of the grains and excess carbs and loading up on nutritious foods are not to be discounted, but let’s face it, some of us still miss our bread and baked goods. A common substitute for flour is almond flour, usually mixed with something else like coconut flour, tapioca flour, or arrowroot flour to achieve a texture that is similar to the original treats that most of us grew up with.

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal

Most of the time, almond flour and almond meal can be used interchangeably in a recipe, but there are some differences. Almond flour is usually blanched and more finely ground, while almond meal can be either blanched or unblanched. You can use almond flour in a recipe if you want a smoother texture.

To learn more about the difference between almond flour and almond meal, check out this post.

PUFA Content of Almonds

It should be noted that treats made with almond flour are still treats and should only be indulged in occasionally. Almonds may be gluten free, but they are still pretty high in carbs and very high in Omega-6 fats. Omega-6s are a type of polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) that are inflammatory and unstable when exposed to light or heat. Exposure tends to cause the Omega-6s to oxidize, which can lead to oxidized cholesterol in our blood stream, making it more likely that the cholesterol will latch onto the inside of the artery, leading to inflammation and build-up of plaque.

You can get more information on the potential cons of consuming too much almond flour here.
