Can you replace flour with almond meal? can you taste the difference?

The Breakdow

Almond flour is made when the raw almonds are blanched, have their skin removed, and then ground into a very fine powder.

Almond meal is another word for ground almonds, as-is. Meaning, homemade almond meal is made by taking the almond and grinding them into a powder.

Almond Flour Almond flour is thinner, more delicate, and light in color.

Almond Meal

Almond meal is darker, can be grittier, and has more nutrients.
