What it is
Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), native to the Middle East and South Asia. They are typically harvested, shelled, and then sold whole, sliced, or ground. Almonds are a good source of nutrients and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
Why it's used
Almonds are often added to foods for their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. They are commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, snack mixes, and dairy alternatives like almond milk. Manufacturers use them as a topping, ingredient, or flavoring agent.
Health notes
Almonds are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for general use in food. They are a source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamin E. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated almonds and found them to be safe. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption could contribute to weight gain due to their calorie density.
Allergen info
Almonds are classified as a tree nut, which is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid almonds.
