Almond butter

Description

Almond butter is a smooth or slightly grainy paste with a creamy consistency and light brown color, featuring a delicate, slightly sweet flavor with nutty notes and an almond aromatic bitterness. It pairs wonderfully as an addition to bread, pancakes, and oatmeal, serves as a base for smoothies and dressings, is an ingredient in sauces for Asian dishes, and is a rich element in baked goods and snacks with fruits. It is calorie-dense yet nutritious—rich in monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, and magnesium, which supports heart health, satiety, and metabolism. Due to its natural oil content, it may form a layer on the surface, so it's advisable to stir before use. Store in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dark place; after opening, for longer freshness, it's best kept in the refrigerator.
