Organic Blanched Almond Flour

Organic blanched almond flour is made from whole almonds that have been blanched to remove their skins, then ground into a fine powder. Almonds are tree nuts grown on trees. The blanching process makes the flour lighter in color and smoother in texture.

Almond flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, providing a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and moist texture. It's common in cookies, cakes, muffins, and breads. Manufacturers also use it to add texture and richness to chocolate confections and snack bars.

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, magnesium, and fiber. While it contains healthy fats, it is also calorie-dense. No specific regulatory limits or evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA are typically noted for almond flour itself as a food ingredient.
