Organic Ground Almonds

Organic ground almonds are made from whole almonds that have been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree, native to the Middle East and South Asia. After harvesting, the almonds are typically blanched, dried, and then ground into a meal or flour.

Ground almonds are used as a flour or meal in baking, adding a nutty flavor and moist texture to cakes, cookies, and pastries. They also serve as a thickener in sauces and fillings, and can be found in granola, energy bars, and some beverages.

Almonds are a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes almonds as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated almonds and their components. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption could contribute to high calorie intake.
