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.
