What it is
Almond powder is made from finely ground almonds. Almonds are the edible seeds of the fruit of the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), which is native to the Middle East. The process typically involves blanching the almonds to remove their skins, then grinding them into a fine powder.
Why it's used
Almond powder is used to add a nutty flavor and texture to foods. It can also act as a binder and add moisture. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and macarons, as well as in some gluten-free products.
Health notes
Almond powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. JECFA has evaluated almonds and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing almond powder at normal levels.
Allergen info
Almond powder is derived from tree nuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
