Organic Blanched Almond Butter - Smooth
What it is
This is a smooth almond butter made from blanched organic almonds. Blanching means the skins have been removed before the almonds are ground into a creamy spread. This process results in a lighter color and a milder flavor compared to almond butter made with skins. It is a simple ingredient, typically just almonds and maybe a touch of salt, offering a pure taste of the nut.
How people cook with it
Almond butter is a versatile spread that can be enjoyed in many ways, both sweet and savory.
- Spread on toast
- Stirred into oatmeal
- Drizzled over fruit
- Added to smoothies
To use, simply stir the almond butter thoroughly before each use, as natural oils may separate. It can be spread directly onto bread, crackers, or fruit slices. For a richer flavor in baked goods, it can be incorporated into cookie or muffin batters. It also blends seamlessly into smoothies, adding creaminess and nutty depth. In savory dishes, a spoonful can add a subtle nutty undertone to sauces or dressings, offering a unique flavor profile.
How it differs from similar foods
This blanched almond butter differs from almond butter with skins by its smoother texture and lighter color. The absence of skins also contributes to a less intense, more delicate almond flavor. It is also typically made with organic ingredients, ensuring a product free from synthetic pesticides.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the almond butter in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not always necessary but can help maintain freshness and prevent oil separation. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and texture. It is best to consume within a few months of opening for optimal quality.
