Meal

Brazil nut meal is a coarse, flecked grind that gives cookies and coatings creamy tropical crunch. Extra oil and skin make it fuller than fine flour and quicker to stale—freeze bags. Toast lightly to bloom aroma before doughs. Choose meal for texture, flour for smoother crumb. Selenium moderation still applies in daily baking. Paint-smelling meal is refuse. Tree-nut allergen.
