There is almond flour, and then there is organic almond flour that has been cold-pressed — and the difference matters more than most bakers realise. Sattva Superfoods Organic Almond Flour starts as nothing but organically grown almonds: they are ground, then cold-pressed to remove around 80% of the natural oils. What is left is a fine, light flour that is high in protein and fibre, low in fat, and naturally gluten-free — a single-ingredient staple for keto, low-carb and gluten-free kitchens.

Not the same as ground almonds

Ordinary ground almonds keep all their oil. That makes them heavy and moist — fine for a frangipane, less fine for bread, pancakes or pastry that needs structure. Because most of the oil is pressed out of this flour, it behaves far more like a true flour: it is drier, finer, lighter, and absorbs liquid properly, so bakes rise better and hold their shape instead of turning greasy or dense.

Why cooks choose this organic almond flour

• Keto-friendly and low-carb — a favourite base for keto bread, pizza bases and pancakes
• High protein, high fibre, low fat — the cold-pressing concentrates the protein and fibre
• Naturally gluten-free — a practical wheat-flour alternative for coeliac and gluten-sensitive households
• Single ingredient, certified organic — almonds and nothing else: no additives, no preservatives
• Resealable 500 g pack — stays fresh between baking sessions

What to make with it

Use it for almond bread and rolls, pancakes and waffles, muffins, brownies and cookies, pastry cases, pizza bases, or as a high-protein thickener for sauces and porridge-style breakfasts. As a rule of thumb, cold-pressed almond flour absorbs noticeably more liquid than ground almonds, so recipes written specifically for defatted almond flour give the best results — start with those, then experiment. A spoonful in a smoothie is an easy way to add protein and fibre without changing the flavour much.

Ingredients & allergen information

Ingredients: almonds* (*organically grown). That is the entire list.

This product is free from peanut, peanut oil, sesame seeds, milk and derivatives, eggs, fish, shellfish, soya, wheat and gluten, sulphites and GMO. (It is, of course, a tree-nut product — it is made entirely of almonds.)

Storage

Keep the pack tightly resealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. Because most of the oil has been removed, cold-pressed almond flour keeps better than oily ground almonds — but as with any nut product, freshness is flavour, so reseal it properly after each use.

The Sattva Superfoods promise

Sattva Superfoods is our own range: single-ingredient, honestly sourced staples chosen for people who read labels. No blends, no fillers — the label says almonds, and that is the entire ingredient list, organically grown and certified.

Swapping it into your recipes

Because cold-pressed almond flour is drier than ground almonds, it is not a straight 1:1 swap in recipes written for ground almonds — expect to need noticeably more liquid, or slightly less flour. When replacing wheat flour, almond flour has no gluten to bind, so recipes benefit from eggs or another binder. The reliable route: follow recipes developed for defatted or cold-pressed almond flour, of which there are now thousands for keto bread, pancakes, pizza bases and low-carb desserts. Once you have a feel for how it absorbs, improvising gets easy — a few tablespoons thicken a sauce or bulk up porridge without changing the flavour.
