Frequently Asked Questions About Raw ground almond
How do you use raw ground almond?
Raw ground almond works in baking and in savory dishes. Stir it into cakes, cookies, fillings, or sauces, or sprinkle it over yogurt and porridge. Its texture may be coarser than almond flour, which can change the result in delicate recipes.
Is raw ground almond the same as almond flour?
Not always. Raw ground almond can be coarser, while almond flour is usually milled more finely and often made from blanched almonds. The difference affects texture, so a recipe calling for fine almond flour may not turn out the same with a coarse grind.
How should you store raw ground almond?
Store raw ground almond in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Its natural oils can develop an unpleasant flavor when exposed to heat and air. Refrigerate it if you want to keep it fresh for longer, and discard it if it smells rancid.
Can you freeze raw ground almond?
Yes, raw ground almond can be frozen. Seal it in an airtight container or freezer bag, ideally in portions you can use at once. This limits repeated thawing and exposure to moisture; let a portion come to room temperature before adding it to a recipe.
How do you make raw ground almond at home?
You can make raw ground almond by pulsing whole raw almonds in a food processor. Stop as soon as the texture is as fine as you need, because continued processing releases the oil and turns the almonds into a paste.
Can raw ground almond replace all-purpose flour?
No, raw ground almond is not a direct one-for-one substitute for all-purpose flour in most recipes. It contains no gluten and behaves differently in batters and doughs, so use a recipe developed for almond-based baking or follow a tested substitution.
Does raw ground almond include the almond skin?
It may or may not. Ground almonds made from unpeeled almonds have visible brown flecks and a slightly coarser texture; blanched almonds produce a paler, finer result. The skin changes the appearance and texture more than the way you use it.
Can you eat raw ground almond without cooking it?
Yes, raw ground almond sold as food can be eaten without cooking. Add it to yogurt, cereal, or fruit, or use it in uncooked mixtures. Anyone with an almond or tree-nut allergy should avoid it, and it should be stored dry.
Should you wash raw ground almond before using it?
No, do not wash raw ground almond. Water makes the fine particles clump and can make storage less reliable. If you want to rinse whole almonds, do it before grinding and dry them thoroughly first.
Can raw ground almond be used for macarons?
Yes, finely ground raw ground almond can be used for macarons, but coarse particles can make their shells uneven. Sift it and use a macaron recipe designed for almond flour; grinding it for too long can release oil and affect the mixture.

What is Raw ground almond?
Raw ground almond is made by finely or coarsely grinding uncooked almonds. It is a versatile pantry ingredient used in baking and everyday cooking; the texture can range from flour-like to slightly granular, depending on how it is milled.
Its mild sweetness and distinct nutty flavour work well stirred into porridge or yoghurt, or added to cakes, biscuits and dessert fillings. It is also used as a coating for fish or vegetables. Raw ground almond is rich in fats and fibre, with vitamin E and magnesium among its notable nutrients. For an easy breakfast, combine a small spoonful with fruit and yoghurt; in baking, use it in a recipe designed for ground almonds rather than swapping it cup for cup with wheat flour.
