What it is

Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree, native to the Middle East and South Asia. They are typically grown in Mediterranean climates and harvested by shaking the trees to loosen the nuts, which are then dried and processed.

Why it's used

Almonds are used whole, sliced, or as almond butter in a wide variety of foods. They add flavor, texture, and nutritional value to baked goods, snacks, cereals, and dairy alternatives.

Almonds are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated almonds and found them to be safe for consumption. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may experience digestive upset from high fiber intake.
