Almond-Flour Crust
Almond-Flour Crust is a versatile gluten-free pastry base made from finely ground almonds and commonly used in tarts, quiches and other baked dishes as a lower-refined-carb alternative to wheat crusts. It is prized for a tender, slightly nutty crumb and is popular in paleo, low-carb and gluten-free baking. Nutritionally, Almond-Flour Crust is high in fats but also supplies notable amounts of vitamin E — around 15.4mg of vitamin E per 100g — and a good share of monounsaturated fats, along with some plant protein and fiber. From a health perspective, this crust delivers heart-friendly unsaturated fats and vitamin E but is energy-dense and contains appreciable saturated fat, so it’s best used in moderation or swapped for an option with less saturated fat when you want a lighter choice.
