100% Nut Butters
100% Pure Nut Butters
100% nut butters are distinguished by their completely pure composition, without any added sugar or salt. Just like protein or sweet creams, they're excellent additions to porridges or yogurts, and thanks to their high quality, they're also fantastic ingredients for baking or cooking. While 100% nut butters are usually made from a single type of nut, blends of multiple nuts are not uncommon. We offer you:
- Peanut Butters: Among the most popular "fitness" foods of recent times, peanut butters are known for their high protein content. Yes, we know peanuts are technically legumes, but they're called peaNUTS, so...
- Cashew Butters: With a naturally higher carbohydrate content, cashew butters are among the sweeter nut butters. They can be a great alternative to sweet nut creams full of sugar.
- Coconut Butters: Made by blending coconut flesh, coconut butters add a subtle exotic touch to dishes. You can also use them in homemade cosmetics.
- Hazelnut Butters: Hazelnut butters have a naturally sweet taste. Those made from the renowned Piedmont hazelnuts are especially rich in flavour, with production regulated to emphasise quality.
- Almond Butters: Characterised by a typically mild, slightly bitter taste due to ground almond skins. For a sweeter option, try butter made from blanched almonds.
- Pecan Butters: Offering a tastier alternative to walnut butter, pecan butters are richer in fats.
- Pistachio Butters: Easily recognisable by their distinctive colour, pistachio butters are high in antioxidants and naturally occurring plant pigments beneficial for eye health.
It's common for 100% nut butters to have the nut oil separate from the solid part. This isn't a defect but a normal characteristic that can be fixed with a good stir.
