It comes in a drupe shape, with a rough shell around the inner nut. Almonds are a perfect snack (for those who do not suffer from nut allergies) due to their significant amount of vitamin E and proteins. Being completely gluten-free, almonds are an irreplaceable part of GF baked goods. Yes, you get it, we are talking about almond flour. Because of its perfect composition, almond flour can be used in many dishes, including cookies, cakes, donuts, waffles, pancakes, and much more. The almond flour is a soft flour, and therefore all baked good with this flour is generally softer than those made with a plain wheat flour. Sometimes, almond flour needs some "sharp kick" just to get necessary texture, and it is easily compensated with all-purpose flour and different types of starches.
