Almond Flour

[Coonlie]

Since I don't make almond milk often enough to have almond flour on hand, I was wondering if it's possible to buy raw almond flour? The only thing I've found is blanched. Does anyone know a source for raw almond flour?

Thanks!

I think the easiest way is if you would make one big batch of almondflour (soaked, dehydrated and then grinded almonds), and then store it in the freezer so that you have it on hand whenever you need it. This doesn't really take up that much time and it's very practical...

If you don't extract the almond milk, your almond flour will have alot of oil in it, and I don't know if it will grind into powder or not, why not just give it a try?

I make so much almond milk, that I toss out about 7/8 of the pulp, I have buckets of the dried pulp, I feed it to my dog. LOL

so maybe you can find someone near you who does this too, and they can give you some?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to do some experimenting and see if I can come up with good flour.

RP, I wish I lived close to you and could take advantage of all that pulp! What do you do with so much almond milk, may I ask? I made some the other day, just to try it, but mostly to get some pulp and it sat in the refrigerator for a couple of days while I tried to figure out what to do with it. I ended up using it in smoothies instead of water, but don't really need to spend money on almonds in order to do that. :)
