Nut And Seed Flour Blend

A nut and seed flour blend is made by grinding various nuts and seeds into a fine powder. Common ingredients include almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds. This process removes most of the oil, creating a flour-like substance.

Manufacturers use nut and seed flour blends as a gluten-free and lower-carbohydrate alternative to traditional grain flours. They add texture, flavor, and nutritional value to baked goods like crackers, cookies, and breads. They can also be used as a binder or thickener in various food products.

Nut and seed flour blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual nuts and seeds. Evidence suggests that diets rich in nuts and seeds are associated with improved heart health.
