Blanched means that the almond's skin has been removed from the nut, and hence blanched almond flour will contain no almond skin. Blanched almond flour is gluten-free, high in fiber and a high protein source, and low in carbohydrates. Almonds provide the most calcium and are beneficial for lowering cholesterol and heart health. It is made using pure almonds and is one of the best choices for a healthy kind of baking flour. Blanched almond flour is mostly used for its smooth, fine, and fluffy texture. Blanched almond flour is lighter and is much better for making baked products and pastries. Because the almonds are white (having had the skin removed), the ground up flour will not make a difference to the dish's appearance. Blanched almond flour also carries the same health and nutritional benefits as unblanched or natural almond flour.
