Storage Tips
Airtight container. Room temp 3-4 months, refrigerator 6 months, freezer 1 year.
Baking Science
21% protein, 50% fat. Toasting develops flavour through Maillard reaction. Can be ground into flour or blended into butter.
Recipe Context
For nut flours: weigh to avoid dry or greasy texture swings.
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup almonds (whole) = 148g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 135g-161g per cup (9% band).
Why this happens: cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
