About Almond Meal
Ground from whole almonds with skins intact, almond meal is coarser and slightly darker than blanched almond flour, giving a rustic texture and more pronounced, earthy flavour.
Why the Weight Per Cup Varies
Almond meal weighs approximately the same as almond flour per cup (96g), since the skins add negligible weight — the coarser grind affects texture, not overall density, in any meaningful way.
Names in Different Countries
In Australia, "almond meal" is the standard supermarket product. In the UK, "ground almonds" is usually blanched (closer to almond flour).
Common Recipe Uses
Rustic tarts, dense gluten-free cakes, crumb toppings, crusts for fish or chicken.
Substitutions
Interchangeable with almond flour in most cakes and crusts; not suitable for macarons, which need the fine, skinless texture of true almond flour.
Frequently Asked Questions
