Nut Butters
Nut Butters & Spreads
Nut butters and spreads are among the most popular products in the realm of healthy eating. Their rise in popularity has brought with it a wide range of flavours to choose from. Nut butters are rich in healthy fats, protein, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
They can be added to porridge, yogurt, puddings, pancakes, toast, or enjoyed straight from the jar. They’re also commonly used in baking or to make sauces, especially in Asian cuisine. Over time, it’s normal for the oil in nut butters to separate from the solid part. This isn’t a defect—just give it a good stir.
How to Choose the Right Nut Butter
Nut butters are made by roasting and grinding nuts to the desired consistency—usually available in smooth or crunchy varieties. Here’s a guide to help you choose:
- 100% Nut Butters are made from a single type of nut without added sugar or other ingredients, preserving their pure, natural flavour. Try 100% cashew, pistachio, almond, hazelnut, pecan, coconut, or peanut butter.
- Protein Spreads are enriched with high‑quality protein (usually milk or whey protein). These are particularly popular with those who monitor their protein intake. You might want to try our Protein Cream or Cheat Spread—just be warned, it doesn’t last long!
- Sweet Nut Spreads often rely on added sweeteners. Be cautious with artificial sweeteners, as some spreads are packed with them. For a quality option, try Sweet Nuts butter, available in more than 10 flavours—each one better than the last.
- Savory Nut Spreads may not be as common, but they don’t lack in flavour. They’re great for savoury dishes or as a dip.
When choosing a nut butter, always make sure it’s the real deal. A quality nut butter shouldn’t contain palm oil, high amounts of sugar, artificial colours, or preservatives.
