Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?

A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.

Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.

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 types lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL(good 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 in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.

Almond flour is commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

How To

How to Make a Garlic Press

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.

However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. These tips will help you get started.

First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle counterclockwise until you hear a click. The top part of the press should lift off and reveal a flat surface that will allow you to slide the blade back and forth over the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.

Finally, take the pressed garlic out and enjoy!

Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:

• Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
• Use the press to crush whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread
• Crush whole cloves of garlic onto pizza dough before baking
• Combine roasted garlic with mashed potatoes and creamy polenta
• Use the press to mash garlic into homemade pesto
• Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
