What is Almond Butter?
Numerous nut butters can be made by grinding a nut until it turns into a smooth, creamy paste. Many consumers are familiar with peanut butter, which is technically a legume butter, since peanuts are not true nuts. Almond butter is another common variation, made with almonds instead of peanuts. Other butters made with tree nuts include cashew butter, pecan butter, hazelnut butter, macadamia butter, and walnut butter. Some seeds such as sunflower seeds and sesame seeds are also used to make butters.
