Frequently Asked Questions
Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?
Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.
Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices will last forever, others may expire very quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. The price is another factor. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.
Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
