Last week, I bought a new type of flour to experiment with in the kitchen: almond flour!
I have to admit after trying a few recipes with it, I’m nuts about almond flour!
Of course, as soon as I got home, I went to look up it’s NuVal score. It turns out that Bob’s Red Mill Finely Ground Almond Meal/Flour scores a 77 . Not too shabby! But, when I looked in the NuVal database for the score of whole wheat flour, I realized that it scores higher than the almond flour. King Arthur 100% Organic Whole Wheat Flour scores a 91, for example. Interesting, right? I thought the almond flour would score higher, but calorie for calorie, the whole wheat flour has more fiber, less saturated fat and a lower energy density than the almond flour.
