Are the almonds blanched, in other words, are the skins removed before grinding? These are two different flours, blanched and unblanched. thanks

The Almond Flour that I received from Anthony's is blanched and worked well in all of my recipes. The Coconut Flour was good as well.

Yes, the coconut flour is blanched. It's very light and fluffy. I thought I wouldn't buy anything other than J K Gourmet Almond Flour. This is just as good, larger bag, (it's a staple at my house,) and less expensive than most I've seen. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Amazon is showing me that you are asking about Anthony's coconut flour, which is made from coconuts and not almonds. Not sure if you meant to ask this question about a different product or not.

I believe you are referring to our almond product - the blanched almonds have their skin removed via a steam process then are milled into flour - unblanched almonds leave the skin in tact and are milled to produce almond flour. Hope that helps!-Anthony's Staff

The flour may be Gluten free but the process it goes through may have had gluten products through it so it may contain some trace gluten. The Gluten free flour is milled on a separate line as to not "contaminate" it.

it is almond meal/flour. Very finely ground - so can be used as flour.... I love the product.

I would describe the flavor as mildly nut flavored. In cookies it was not overwhelming nutty, the recipe contained raisin, craisins, choc chips, and a nut of some sort. They were wonderful, they held together beautifully, yet were light and not nutty. Used as an ingredient to coat food before cooking (fish, chicken. vegetables) no nutty flavor if you are using spices, herbs, seasonings. Really the flour simply takes on the flavor of the seasonings. Get for both baking coated items and for pan frying. I have already ordered my second case of this product and plan to use it as a staple in my kitchen.

Can you take a picture of what you have and send it to my e-mail? rhalverson@greatrivermilling.com. We have always had black specs in our buckwheat flour because we grind the whole buckwheat and then sift off a portion of the outer layer. This leaves some black specs in the flour this is how you make dark buckwheat flour. If the sifter was not set properly it could be a mistake in milling. I would like to see it.

It's ground with stones. What you get in this flour is the whole grain, ground together, nothing separated.

I've never made almond meal or flour so I looked it up for you and my own curiosity but you could have looked it up too. Seems like these almonds will make almond meal (courser than flour) in a food processor or Vitamix but you'd want blanched almonds to make the (finer) almond flour. Hope this helps.

It is almond flour. The almonds used are blanched. The consistency is much better than the meal.

It all depends on your recipe. I usually find a recipe that calls for almond flour rather than just substitute it myself as a direct replacement for flour.

No. It does not require grinding. the 10lb bag of 100% Whole Grain, Organic Sprouted Wheat flour is ground flour and ready to use. it makes fabulous bread in my bread maker.

Yes. The Superfine flours have an almost silky feel to them and they make baked goods have a better texture than coarser grinds, in my opinion.This article shows pictures and explains better than me: http://cybelepascal.com/authentic-foods-superfine-brown-rice-flour-vs-bobs-red-mill-brown-rice-flour/

Over in parts of Europe, it's easy to find organic white, (marcona) almond butter. I'm thinking when you ask regarding the shell you might have meant the brown skin that's common as a coating on almonds in the states..? In which case, yes the "shells" are on these. I've personally gone through the painstaking process of de-shelling, or de-skinning almonds for the sake in cookies or other raw treats. However, it'd be better just to find marcona almonds I think :) hope that helps.

I see what you mean about it being hard to tell by the description. There is no labeling on the container that is any help, either. As you know, this product shows under the searches for both raw and unsalted nuts. I assumed tbey were roasted when I puechased them. Peanut oil is listed as an ingredient, which would lead me to believe that they are roasted. It seems they would be kind of greasy if they were raw and had oil in them. They also seem somewhat more crunchy than raw nuts, to me, anyway. Hope this helps.

this is a 100% whole wheat flour ground from what kernels that have been "sprouted" which is a bit of a misnomer since the grain is allowed to swell to sprout stage but does not show any leaf external of the kernel. there is a benefit to digestion and the bread recipes are virtually the same as for regular NON sprouted wheat. flavor profile is slightly different as well and there is a faint<< aroma of "green" when you smell the raw flour.

Ask if the almonds are 100% "unprocessed", that's the key word. As to answering the question, there is no way to know the truth unless you follow the seed from the tree to your mouth.http:// www .organicpastures.com/ raw-almond-expose. html

I just received these and I do not eat Gluten. I was disappointed to find that only the fire roasted version has rice flour, the rest have unbleached wheat flour.

You'd be safer contacting the company to ask. Anthony's also makes (very lovely might I add) almond flour, and I'm not sure if it's processed in the same facility or with the same equipment as their coconut flour. You would think they wouldn't, being that its organic and I'm sure they are aware of high incidences of nut allergies and all, but to be safe I would call or email them to ask.
