Almond flour?

[ChildoftheKing7777]

I only have the Success Guide. Where does it say we can have almond flour? I've seen it in several "compliant" recipes.

As far as I'm aware almond flour is just ground almonds (this is why I had great trouble finding almond "flour" in the UK as we don't call it that here). And though almonds are a nut we should have in moderation they are allowed.

As long as you are not using it as a substitute for white flour and " paleofing" a recipe like a muffin or pancake.... It's perfectly fine to use in moderation as a coating for meats when sautéing etc....

In the UK and Australia almond flour is known as Almond Meal - & yes it's finely pulsed blanched raw almonds.

I use it can as a thickener, or as a basis for "crumbling" (almond flour, beaten eggs, coconut flakes) chicken

In the US, almond meal and almond flour are different. Almond meal is whole ground almonds whereas almond flour is blanched skinless almonds thus making it better for baking. For the purpose of Whole30, either is fine as long as you aren't using it to make sweets
