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 consists of the dead remains of plants (and to a lesser extent of animals) that have accumulated over thousands of years. Peat accumulates in areas where the rate of plant production exceeds the rate of plant decomposition. Complete plant decomposition is prevented in areas where waterlogging occurs.
