About Nuts, almond paste
Almond paste is ground blanched almonds combined with sugar, which means the carbohydrate content is meaningfully higher than plain almonds and the sweetness is upfront. Fat is still substantial, from the almonds themselves. Protein and fiber are moderate but lower than in whole nuts, partly because the added sugar dilutes the nut concentration. It is used primarily as a filling for pastries, marzipan, and confections. Distinct from marzipan in that almond paste generally contains less sugar and has a coarser texture.
