What it is

Almond base is a liquid or paste made from ground almonds and water. It is used as a dairy-free alternative in various food products. The process typically involves blanching almonds to remove skins, grinding them with water, and then straining to create a smooth liquid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use almond base to impart a mild nutty flavor and creamy texture to foods. It serves as a primary ingredient in plant-based milks, yogurts, and frozen desserts. It can also be found in baked goods and sauces as a dairy substitute.

Health notes

Almond base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and vitamin E. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated almonds and their derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Almond base is derived from tree nuts, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
