What it is
Organic almond protein is a plant-based protein powder derived from organic almonds. After almonds are pressed to extract their oil, the remaining solids are ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the protein content of the almonds.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add almond protein to boost the protein content of foods. It is often found in snack bars, protein powders, and baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor can complement various food products.
Health notes
Almond protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and other nutrients found in almonds. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated proteins, but specific evaluations for almond protein's health effects at typical dietary intakes are not widely publicized. Evidence generally supports protein's role in muscle health and satiety.
Allergen info
Almond protein is derived from tree nuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
