What it is

Blanched almond flour is made from whole almonds that have had their skins removed (blanched) and then ground into a fine powder. Almonds are tree nuts grown on trees, and this flour is a popular alternative to wheat flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use blanched almond flour as a gluten-free and lower-carbohydrate substitute for traditional wheat flour in baked goods. It adds a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a moist texture to products like pastries, cakes, muffins, and cookies.

Health notes

Blanched almond flour 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. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated almonds and their derivatives, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also assesses food ingredients. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe.

Almonds are one of the 9 major allergens designated by the FDA (tree nuts). It does not contain gluten.
