What it is
Almond juice is a liquid extracted from almonds. It is made by blending almonds with water and then straining the mixture to remove the solids, resulting in a milky liquid that retains some of the almond flavor and nutrients.
Why it's used
Almond juice is often used as a dairy-free alternative in beverages, smoothies, and as a base for plant-based yogurts and desserts. Manufacturers may add it for its mild nutty flavor, creamy texture, and nutritional content.
Health notes
Almond juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar almond-based products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Almond juice is derived from tree nuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
