For almond flour, use blanched almond flour
because unblanched almonds can add an unpleasant aftertaste to baked foods.

Hi Nel, I say
almond meal
because I use raw
almonds whole and grind them directly in my food processor (
unblanched).
After baking them, the texture was still heavy and a bit chalky (probably
because it's
unblanched almond meal instead of a fine
almond flour, I know).
Almond meal, by contrast, has a much coarser texture
because it is usually made from
unblanched almonds (
almonds with skins).
