Almond Base

What it is

A formulated almond-derived ingredient — typically a mixture of water, almonds (or almond paste/butter), and sometimes sugar, oil, stabilizers, and emulsifiers — used as the foundational dairy-replacement liquid or paste in further-processed products such as almond-based beverages, yogurts, and ice creams.

Functional building-block for almond-based finished foods; provides almond flavor and protein-fat-water structure for downstream beverage, frozen, or baked applications.

Why it's flagged

• contains tree nut (almond) — must be declared as a major allergen
• composition varies — may contain added sugar, oils, or stabilizers
