Cookbook:Almond Extract

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients

Almond extract is a flavorful extract typically made from bitter almond oil, water, and alcohol. The characteristic flavor comes from the aromatic compound benzaldehyde, which can be derived from the bitter almonds themselves or synthesized in a lab. While bitter almonds contain cyanide-producing compounds, the amount present in commercially-available almond extract is not harmful when used in typical quantities.
