Almond Extract (Frosting)

Almond extract is a concentrated flavoring used in small amounts in baked goods and frostings, typically made from bitter almond flavor compounds in alcohol and water. It contributes flavor rather than meaningful nutrition.

Beneficial properties

intense flavoring used in very small amounts low calorie per serving adds almond-like aroma

Nutritional highlights

Because it is used sparingly, almond extract provides negligible amounts of calories, macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

Caution. May contain alcohol and almond-derived flavor compounds; avoid if allergic to almonds or if alcohol exposure is a concern.
