What it is
Almond puree is made from ground almonds. Almonds are tree nuts that grow on trees in temperate climates. The nuts are typically blanched to remove their skins before being ground into a smooth paste.
Why it's used
Almond puree is used to add a rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture to foods. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier. It is often found in baked goods like cookies and macarons, as well as in desserts and some sauces.
Health notes
Almond puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. JECFA has evaluated almonds and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. While almonds are nutritious, they are also calorie-dense, so moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Almond puree is derived from almonds, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens (tree nuts). It does not contain gluten.
