Frequently Asked Questions About Crunchy almond butter
Is crunchy almond butter healthy?
Yes, crunchy almond butter can be a nutritious choice because it provides protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fats from almonds. It is energy-dense, so spreading a modest amount on toast or stirring it into oats is a practical way to enjoy it.
What is crunchy almond butter made of?
Crunchy almond butter is made mainly from ground almonds, with small almond pieces left in or mixed back in for texture. Some products also contain salt, oil or sweeteners, so the exact ingredients vary by brand.
Why does oil separate in crunchy almond butter?
Oil separation in crunchy almond butter is normal: natural almond oil can rise to the top when the jar sits. Stir it thoroughly with a clean utensil before eating; a distinctly rancid smell is a reason to discard it.
Does crunchy almond butter need to be refrigerated after opening?
No, crunchy almond butter does not always need refrigeration after opening. Keep the tightly closed jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; chilling can make it firmer. Follow the storage directions on the specific product if they differ.
How is crunchy almond butter different from smooth almond butter?
Crunchy almond butter contains small pieces of almond, while smooth almond butter is ground to an even texture. Both are used in similar ways, but the crunchy version adds bite to toast, porridge and baking.
Can you use crunchy almond butter in baking?
Yes, crunchy almond butter works in cookies, energy bites and other recipes that use nut butter. The almond pieces add texture, so the result will not be as smooth as one made with creamy almond butter.
Can crunchy almond butter replace peanut butter?
Yes, crunchy almond butter can replace peanut butter in many sandwiches and recipes. It has a distinct almond flavour, so expect a different taste even when the texture is similar; it also is not a safe substitute for someone avoiding tree nuts.
How do you make crunchy almond butter at home?
To make crunchy almond butter, blend most of the almonds in a powerful food processor until smooth, then pulse in a smaller amount of chopped almonds. Lightly toasting the almonds first can help them blend and deepen the flavour.
How can you tell if crunchy almond butter has gone bad?
Crunchy almond butter may have spoiled if it develops a sharp, stale or paint-like smell, visible mould or an unusually unpleasant taste. Keep water and used utensils out of the jar, and discard it if you notice these signs.
Can people with diabetes eat crunchy almond butter?
Yes, people with diabetes can often include crunchy almond butter, particularly when it has no added sugar. Products differ, and individual blood-glucose responses and meal plans vary, so ask your clinician or dietitian if you need advice for your own plan.
