About Natural almond meal

Natural almond meal is ground almond, usually made from almonds with their brown skins retained; it is distinct from blanched almond flour. The grind can range from fine to coarse, giving it a pale beige colour with darker flecks and a mildly sweet, nutty flavour.

It is used in baking and as a coating or thickener, where it adds almond flavour and a tender, sometimes slightly grainy texture. Products may differ in grind and in whether the almonds are whole or partly defatted, so the name alone does not specify a uniform form.
