Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
What are the health benefits of cooking with almonds?
Almonds are rich in heart-healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamin E. They help lower cholesterol, support weight management, and provide sustained energy throughout the day.
Can I use almond flour as a substitute for regular flour?
Yes, almond flour works well as a gluten-free alternative in many recipes. It's particularly good for baking and creates tender, moist results, though you may need to adjust quantities as it behaves differently than wheat flour.
How should I store almonds to keep them fresh?
Store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months, or in the refrigerator for up to a year. This preserves their nutrients and prevents them from becoming rancid.
