ALMOND BUTTER
Varieties
Almond butter is made from the sweet almond variety and is usually sold in jars in natural food stores.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Almond butter is mildly sweet and a delicious alternative to peanut butter as a sandwich spread. It can also be used as a base for soups, sauces, and dips. Because it is an unprocessed food, the oil and solids of the almond butter sometimes separate in the jar but can easily be stirred together before use.
