Almond Butter

Illustration

Preparation, uses, and tips

Almond butter is mildly sweet and a delicious alternative to peanut butter as a sandwich spread. It can also be used as a base for soups, sauces, and dips. Because it is an unprocessed food, the oil and solids of the almond butter sometimes separate in the jar but can easily be stirred together before use.

Buying and storing tips

Most almond butter is made without additives and should be kept refrigerated to prevent rancidity. If kept in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator, almond butter will keep for up to three months.

Varieties

Almond butter is made from the sweet almond variety and is usually sold in jars in natural food stores.
