Thanks, Janet, I think probably my best bet then will be at Whole Foods, and
I'll give Wegman's a look-see. Of course, I'll look at TJ's, but --

So many choices, you're lucky. Oh, the packages at my store also have a use
by date. That gives more confidence.

Yes, I am lucky, and this reminded me of a place that I've not been to in 10
years, but it is a "health" store. I always remember it because the lady
said that they had run or were running Whole Foods out of business -- it is
a very small store. LOL. But I have to hand it to them, they're still
there!
Janet, I do have to put on the mileage to get to these places. Abt. 150 RT.

I agree with Sheldon thats why I rated his response as five stars.
"Blenders don't make almonds oily, almonds ARE oily (all nuts are
oily). "

Still! You can play a little trick.
1. Freeze the almonds before making the flour. Process frozen almonds.
2. Use small quntity at a time,, half a cup
3. Use a food processor, pulse to create coarse powder.

I don't agree with Sheldon's assessment that almond flour has been chemically defatted. Not the almond flour I buy. Peanut flour is often defatted, but not almond.

I freeze my almonds as well before processing and I get the exact same results as the almond flour I've bought. I also freeze the fp bowl/blade.
