What is nut butter?

First, let's get to the bottom of the question of what nut butter actually is. Simply put, it is pureed nuts. Depending on the type of nut, desired taste, and consistency, the nuts can be roasted and blended into a creamy texture or mixed with pieces.

When buying, you should definitely pay attention to the ingredients ! Added sugar, fats, or other additives may diminish the health benefits of nuts, making the spread less healthy than assumed.

Since nuts also contain a number of (healthy) fats, it may be that some oil separates at the top while the solid nut mass remains at the bottom. However, this is by no means a sign that the nut butter is bad; it is simply a natural process that occurs over time.

If the nut butter remains a uniform mass over a longer period, it is a sign that an emulsifier, i.e., a binder, has been used.

Our tip: It's best to stir the mixture with a long spoon or a knife before you take anything out. Storage on its lid can also be recommended for particularly liquid nut butters like tahini, a popular cream made from sesame seeds.

Trendfood almond butter – the source of protein

So nut butter can be made from a wide variety of nuts. A specialty is the healthy almond butter, as it is a tasty vegetable protein source .

Even if almonds have a fairly high calorie density of about 658 kcal per 100g, they should not be considered unhealthy! The multitude of nutrients clearly outweighs this "disadvantage". Additionally, nut butter naturally fills you with fiber so that you can't and won't eat more than a few spoonfuls.

Health benefits of almonds

In addition, almonds are valuable suppliers of, among other things, vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, biotin, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Furthermore, studies show that almonds can lower cholesterol levels and that there is a link between nut consumption and reduced incidence of coronary heart disease. ^​1​

If you suffer from histamine intolerance or sensitivity, almonds are also recommended. Along with Brazil nuts and pistachios, they are low-histamine nuts .

Did you know that the positive properties of almonds also apply to pure nut butter? In terms of nutrition, unprocessed almonds and almond butter are almost identical. However, by roasting, the almonds lose some moisture, making the nutrients even more concentrated.

It can also be used in a wide variety of ways, but more on that later!

How can I make almond butter myself?

In principle, you can also make almond butter at home, but this requires a lot of work and effort.

First, the almonds must be soaked in water – this is best done overnight. Afterwards, it is advisable to roast the nuts to enhance their aroma.

Finally, blend the nuts in a high-performance blender. Attention: Traditional blenders or hand blenders are not suitable for this; it takes a high-performance blender to create a creamy texture from the hard nuts.

So you see, making nut butter is possible at home, but we only recommend it if you have time, a good blender, and want to use the butter relatively quickly.
