Nut & 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, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. These flours are often used as alternatives to traditional wheat flour in baking.

Manufacturers use nut and seed flour blends to add flavor, texture, and nutritional value to baked goods. They are popular in gluten-free and low-carbohydrate products like cookies, crackers, muffins, and breads. These flours can also contribute to a richer taste and a denser texture.

Nut and seed flour blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual nuts and seeds, but specific evaluations for blended flours are less common. Evidence suggests that nuts and seeds are beneficial as part of a balanced diet, contributing to heart health.
