Frequently Asked Questions About Almond spread
What is almond spread made of?
Almond spread is made primarily from ground almonds. Some versions contain only almonds, while others include added oil, salt, sugar, or sweeteners; the texture and taste vary with the recipe.
How do you make almond spread at home?
To make almond spread, blend roasted almonds in a powerful food processor until they release their oils and turn smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides; adding oil is usually unnecessary.
Why is my almond spread so thick or dry?
Almond spread can be thick when it contains little added oil or when its natural oils have separated. Stir it thoroughly first; if it is still too stiff for a recipe, blend in a small amount of neutral-tasting oil.
Can you use almond spread instead of peanut butter?
Yes, almond spread can replace peanut butter in many sandwiches, smoothies, and baking recipes. It has a distinct almond flavor and may be less sweet, so taste the mixture before adding extra sweetener.
Should almond spread be refrigerated after opening?
No, refrigeration is not always necessary for almond spread. Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard unless the product instructions say otherwise; chilling can slow oil separation but makes the spread firmer.
How can you tell if almond spread has gone rancid?
Rancid almond spread often smells or tastes bitter, sour, or like stale oil. Do not eat it if the smell or flavor has changed noticeably, or if you see mold or other unusual changes.
Can almond spread be used in baking?
Yes, almond spread works in baking, especially in cookies, bars, and sauces. Because its oil and consistency affect the recipe, it is not always a one-for-one substitute for flour or solid fats.
Does almond spread separate, and should you stir it?
Yes, natural almond spread can separate as its oil rises to the surface. Stir it from the bottom until smooth before serving; this separation is normal and does not by itself mean the spread has spoiled.
Is almond spread good for people with diabetes?
Unsweetened almond spread can fit into meals for many people with diabetes, but sweetened versions may affect blood glucose differently. Check the ingredients for added sugar and follow your clinician’s advice for your own meal plan.
Can babies eat almond spread?
Yes, babies can have almond spread once they are ready for solid foods, provided there is no known almond allergy. Serve a thin layer or mix a small amount into food rather than offering a sticky spoonful, which can be a choking hazard.

What is Almond spread?
Almond spread is made by grinding almonds into a smooth or slightly textured paste. Its flavour is rich, gently sweet and distinctly nutty, and the texture can range from silky to coarse depending on how it is made. It is commonly spread on toast, stirred into porridge or blended into smoothies; in many places, it also appears in baking and sauces. Almond spread is energy-dense and provides mostly fat, along with fibre and protein; 100 g contains 55.5 g of fat. A thin layer adds plenty of flavour, or spoon a little into yoghurt or fruit for a simple snack.
