What it is

Peanut flour is made from roasted peanuts that have had most of their oil removed and then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the peanut flavor and protein while reducing the fat content compared to whole peanuts.

Why it's used

Peanut flour is used to add a distinct peanut flavor and protein boost to foods. It can act as a thickener and binder in baked goods, and is commonly found in energy bars, baked goods, and some confectionery products.

Health notes

Peanut flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanut products, but specific evaluations of peanut flour's health effects at typical intake levels are not widely published. As a common allergen, its primary health implication relates to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Allergen info

Peanut flour is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
