I buy my gound almonds in the bulk food section of my store and I find it cheeper than in PrePKG..
whats the carb count for ground almonds say..per cup??

Hello Smore,
I think the only way to work out carb counts for ground almonds is to weigh them.
According to FitDay, almonds have 6g carbs per oz, with 3g fibre, giving an effective carb count of 3 per oz.

I was also looking for some almond meal and stopped at several healthfood grocery stores and no one carried any. After speaking with some of the managers it sounds like the main reason no one carries it is that it tends to go rancid rather fast.

I've been making my own in the food processor. Sometimes throwing in a little roasted almond too.

I am curious what the best way to store this might be if it prone to go rancid.

In an airtight container in the fridge.

I found a large bag of almonds in the Indian Foods section of my big HEB......the same thing in the bulk foods section was twice as much.....
Apparantly, any local ethnic store is a good place to look, also

Trader Joes has Trader Joes almond meal - comes in 1lb bags. Don't have the price with me but it was't too expensive - $4 or $5 as I recall.

Would loved to hear a waffle recipie for it!

I've gotten almond flour at netrition.com I think, and at Bob's Red Mill. I believe The Ingredient Store also has it (all these online). One dealer, the flour is white and powdery and suggests refrigeration. The other, the flour is light brown speckled, clearly made with the skins on, and asks only for the 'cool, dry' place any flour needs to be kept in.

Soteria: I'm in the cheering section, WHERE is that website with almond flour recipes?--if you can find it, please do post it!

I just got some from Trader Joes today. 16oz $2.59

Ive been using the Almond flour mixed with some spices and parmesan for breading on fried meats, ground turkey, chicken, etc.
Its been really yummy!

If you live near TraderJoes market, they have almond flour and hazelnut flour. If you make it yourself, just do a little at a time. 1/2 cup can be ground without getting too hot and turning into nut butter. Dont overdo it!

I've used almond flour to bread fish and chicken too. Use lower heat when you fry it, and once it's browned, I cover the pan and continue cooking on low heat to finish cooking the meat without overbrowning the breading.

I have been using the TJ's Almond Meal to bread pork chops for frying and found that the almond burns and blackens pretty quickly. I just wanted to warn people to get thinner cuts of meat that will cook quicker so that the almond can remain golden brown. I love this dish it's so tasty! I haven't baked with it yet, but I want to try and make a baked "fried" chicken. Has anyone tried this yet?

My safeway had some, but of course they stopped carrying it as soon as I wanted it. I took a trip to CO and found some though. the whole reason I got it was some recipes in the Protien Power Comfort Foods book called for them.
