Storage Tips for Accurate Measurements
High fat content means it goes rancid fast. Refrigerate (3 months) or freeze (6 months). Always bring to room temp before baking.
Old or improperly stored almond flour can absorb moisture from the air, which changes its density. If your flour has been sitting open, it might weigh more per cup than fresh flour. Always store it sealed.
Pro Tips
Gluten-free, high protein, high fat. Not a 1:1 substitute for wheat flour. Needs extra binding agents.
For the most accurate results, always use the same measurement method that the recipe developer used. Most professional recipe developers use the spoon and level method and weigh their ingredients.
Bottom Line
Almond Flour has a density of 0.406 g/ml. One cup (spoon & level) = 96g. If precision matters for your recipe, use a scale. If you only have cups, use the spoon and level method consistently.
