There is one thing that never fails when it comes to enhancing the end result of your baking adventure: the rustic look. Not only will crumbly sweets and treats featuring almond meal look and taste delicious, but will also boost your vitamin E levels, associated with better memory recall and increased cognitive performance. Apart from delighting the taste buds, almond meal is an energising all- purpose substitute for wheat, high in fibre and calcium and rich in antioxidants and phosphorus. Gluten-sensitive foodies can still satisfy their sweet tooth, as ground almonds give a moist texture and rich, buttery flavour to desserts. The list of baked treats is long: from classical macaroons and marzipan, to dewy, fluffy sponge cakes, as well as biscuits, ice creams, custards, sweet drinks and raw vegan treats; almond meal is perfect for creating delightful tidbits! Throw it in your smoothie or mix with your yoghurt and cereal. It will add crunch and a warm nutty flavour to fruit crumbles and a crispy crust to pan-fried meat. Going against the grain opens up a world of culinary possibilities.
