Nut and seed butters

Nut butters are super versatile in the raw food kitchen. As a spread or a base for salad dressings.

Favorites

almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, hemp seed butter, hazelnut butter, Brazil nut butter, walnut butter, pistachio butter

Buying

High-quality nut butter is made with just nuts, no added oil. Not every single health food store will have it in stock. It is oftentimes easier to find raw organic nut butter online.

Eating

I eat almond butter with apple slices. I use cashew butter and tahini as the base for salad dressings.
Nut butters are ground nuts or seeds and contain a fair amount of fat. I try not to overdo on nut butters for this reason.
