What it is

Almond meal is made from finely ground almonds. It is typically produced by blanching almonds to remove their skins, then drying and grinding them into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add almond meal to products for its distinct nutty flavor, moist texture, and as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies, biscuits, breads, and snack bars.

Health notes

Almonds, and thus almond meal, are considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a whole food, it contributes to a balanced diet and is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA as a food additive. There are no notable controversies regarding almond meal's safety at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Almond meal is derived from almonds, which are tree nuts. Tree nuts are one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
