How to Store Almond Meal

Almond meal, which is also known as almond flour, is an excellent gluten-free alternative for flour in many recipes. It provides a strong almond flavor, which you can lessen by mixing the almond meal with other meals or flours. Unlike wheat flour, almond meal goes rancid and stale fairly quickly if stored at room temperature or exposed to light or air for prolonged periods. For this reason, you must store it more carefully than wheat flour to ensure it stays good until you are ready to use it.

Things You'll Need

  • Airtight container

Instructions

  1. Place the almond meal into an airtight container. Close the container tightly, ensuring it seals completely to keep out air.

  2. Put the sealed container of almond meal into your refrigerator if you will use it within 6 months.

  3. Store the sealed container of almond meal in the freezer, as it stays good for longer when frozen as opposed to refrigerated.
