Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?

As an almond flour alternative, an almond meal is more versatile because it can be used for baking, cooking, and even making nut-free dishes.

Almond flour can also contain gluten which makes it more difficult to digest. It is important to avoid gluten-free products if you have celiac or other digestive disorders.

Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.

The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.

Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.

Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

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 commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

What is the difference in curry and curried?

There is no difference between the spellings. Both words mean the same thing: Indian cuisine that includes meat and vegetables mixed with different seasonings.

Curry comes from the Hindi word kari meaning "to rub." This term refers to how the spice mixture is rubbed onto the food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.

Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.

Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. Another common accompaniment is raita, a yogurt sauce, and chutney, a sweet relish.

How To

How to Make a Garlic Press

A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. It can be used to quickly mince garlic into a paste. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. We have some tips to help get you started.

First, get a large container. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now, turn the pressure regulator to maximum.

Next, move the handle clockwise so that you hear a click. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.

Finally, remove the pressed garlic.

Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.

• Add minced garlic to soups, sauces, salads, and dips (or even as a seasoning)
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
• Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• Use the press for homemade pesto
• Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
