Almond meal vs Almond flour. Almond meal and almond flour are two baking items that often stir confusion even with baking enthusiasts who have been using either for some time. Most people who are already familiar with these would nonchalantly say they are one and the same.
Peat forms when plant material, usually in marshy areas, is inhibited from decaying fully by acidic and anaerobic conditions. It is composed mainly of marshland vegetation: trees, grasses, fungi, as well as other types of organic remains, such as insects, and animal remains.
Peat moss is dead fibrous material that forms when mosses and other living material decompose in peat bogs. The difference between peat moss and the compost gardeners make in their backyard is that peat moss is composed mostly of moss and the decomposition happens in the absence of air, which slows the decomposition.
