Nature's Almond Flour (250g)

Flour is used in many foods, from bread and pasta to cookies and snacks. Flour made from wheat is the most common type, but for people who can’t eat wheat because of allergies or dietary choices, almond flour is a popular and healthy alternative. Because almond flour is gluten-free, it is also a helpful option for people with celiac disease.

Almond flour is made from ground almonds and can replace wheat flour in just about any recipe. It’s easy to make at home, or you can buy it in supermarkets and health food stores like OneWithNature.

• Almond flour is rich in monounsaturated fat, which can help keep cholesterol under control. Reducing cholesterol significantly lowers the risk of heart disease.
• Almond flour is a low glycemic index food. Compared to wheat flour, almond flour has fewer sugars and carbohydrates. Switching to almond flour can help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels more effectively.
• It is good for digestive health. Almond flour contains a lot of prebiotic dietary fiber. This type of fiber is digested by bacteria in your small intestine. Getting enough prebiotic dietary fiber leads to a healthier, more efficient digestive system.
