Seed & Nut Flour Blend

A blend of flours made from various seeds and nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. These ingredients are typically ground into a fine powder to create a flour-like consistency, offering a gluten-free alternative to traditional grain flours.

Manufacturers use seed and nut flours as a base or ingredient in baked goods like cookies, crackers, and breads, especially in gluten-free or low-carbohydrate products. They contribute texture, flavor, and nutritional value, acting as a binder and providing a source of fiber and protein.

Seed and nut flours are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. While generally considered healthy, individuals with nut or seed allergies should avoid them. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual nuts and seeds, but specific evaluations for 'seed and nut flour blends' as a whole are not typically set.
