What it is

Almond flour is made from ground almonds. It is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, often used in baking. The almonds are typically blanched to remove the skins before grinding.

Why it's used

Almond flour is used as a base or thickener in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and breads. It adds a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a moist texture to products. It is also used in some savory dishes and as a coating for meats and vegetables.

Health notes

Almond flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated almonds and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Almond flour is derived from tree nuts, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
