About Almond paste

Almond paste is a versatile ingredient made from finely ground almonds blended with sugar and a small amount of binding liquid like egg whites or water. Originating in European and Middle Eastern cuisines, it’s a key component in desserts like marzipan, pastries, and tarts. Rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, and plant-based protein, almond paste offers some nutritional benefits, particularly for heart and skin health. However, its high sugar content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those watching their sugar intake. Available pre-made or made at home, almond paste's creamy, nutty flavor makes it a favorite in both sweet and savory recipes.
