What it is

Peanut flour is made from roasted peanuts that have had most of their oil removed and have then been ground into a powder. It is a concentrated source of peanut flavor and protein.

Why it's used

Peanut flour is used to add a distinct peanut flavor and protein to foods. It can also act as a binder or thickener. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies, bars, and pancakes, as well as in some sauces and smoothies.

Health notes

Peanut flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of protein and fiber. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated peanut flour, but did not set a numeric limit. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Peanut flour is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not related to gluten.
