Honeyville's Blanched Almond Flour, or Blanched Almond Meal, is a great way to cook with limited carbohydrate intake. With a fraction of the carbs of wheat flour, almond flour provides a hearty flavor and consistency without adding all of those empty calories.

Made from blanched almonds, pressed into fine particles, our almond flour adds color, texture, richness, flavor, body, and binds ingredients in baking applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality almond flour, August 27, 2006

I've tried this and it seems to be both better and cheaper than Bob's Red Mill brand. Buying it like this brings the total price down to around $7.40 per bag..the best deal for people needing to replace the regular flour in their diet. The only thing I can suggest is to carefully store this flour as it can go stale before you use it all. I would suggest a good glass or heavy plastic, sealable container which can go in the fridge. Also you can buy this directly from Honeyville for cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars NO cross contamination possible - safe for GF diets!!, October 24, 2008

I just got my order so I'm not here to comment on how the product behaves for my particular baking needs, but I can say that before I ordered the product I called the company with concerns about the possibility of cross-contamination of their nut flours.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease, only after significant damage nearly killed me. Even after years of healing on a GF Diet, my digestive tract is severely damaged. I have to be ever vigilant about my product choices.

All food reactions should be carefully examined, but they should not be immediately or unduly blamed on gluten contamination. I don't work for nor do I currently receive any form of consideration from this company. This endorsement is strictly so others can make an informed decision!

Their number is (888)-810-3212. I recommend you call since manufacturing practices are subject to change, even though it seemed that this company is committed to providing a safe product for celiacs and others on a GF diet.

I asked if I could quote them and got their permission to write:

" Nut flours are processed in a separate facility which ONLY processes nut flours. Therefore, there's NO possibility of cross-contamination during manufacturing from gluten."

I am very comfortable using and recommending this product from a Gluten free point of view. I shall update the review here and on my blog as I use their flours in recipe formulation.

4.0 out of 5 stars great deal, good flavor, February 3, 2007

I purchased this flour a few weeks ago and just baked with it the first time yesterday. I was very satisfied with the taste and texture of it. However, I called the company and they could not tell me anything in regards to their mills nor if there could be any cross-contamination. The lady on the phone seemed to think that the mills are shared equipment and that no precautions are taken to avoid cross-contamination. If you're buying it for low-carb prep only, it should be a good flour at a great deal. Please beware if you are using it to avoid gluten or other allergenic grains!

Note: PLEASE READ COMMENT BELOW FROM HONEYWELL! They have since modified their manufacturing to eliminate cross-contamination.
