Almond extract

Almond extract is a flavoring derived from almonds, often used in baking and cooking to impart a sweet, nutty aroma and taste to dishes. It typically contains alcohol and natural or artificial almond flavors, which mimic the taste of real almonds. While it offers a concentrated almond flavor, it is important to note that some almond extracts contain a compound called benzaldehyde, which provides the characteristic aroma. Almond extract is a popular ingredient for enhancing desserts like cookies, cakes, and pastries, adding depth and a distinctive almond essence without adding actual nuts.
