Benefits of Almond Flour

Almond flour is a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to wheat and bleached flour that offers many potential health benefits.

Almond flour is rich in Vitamin E, which supports immune function and many other antioxidants which help reduce the risk of serious health conditions like cancers, diabetes, heart disease, and strokes. It also contains a good source of manganese and magnesium.

It is also high in calcium, which is good for bone health.

Lastly, it is also plant-based which makes it a great source of plant-based protein making it a good choice for vegans and vegetarians.
