Almond flour has only 6 grams of carbs in 1/4 cup serving and that makes it the flour that is lowest in carbs. There are two types of almond flour: almond meal and almond flour. Almond meal is made from almonds that have skins, so it has a grainy texture. Almond flour, made from finely ground-blanched almonds, has a delicate flavor that doesn't taste like nuts. Its texture is smooth and fine, making it an excellent choice for gluten-free baking.
