Overwhelmed with the wide assortment of nut butters on the shelf at the grocery store? Follow this guide to simplify your choice.
- Read the label.
- Choose a product with minimal ingredients.
- Select a product with minimal added sugar and salt.
To stir or not to stir? You can buy nut butters that are just nuts and a little bit of salt. As these products do not contain an emulsifier such as palm oil to keep the components of the nut butter combined, you will need to stir them before each use to mix in any oil that has naturally separated over time. You can buy a nut butter with an emulsifier such as palm oil that will allow the nut butter to remain smooth and incorporated with no stirring needed. This small amount of palm oil may have minimal negative impact. Be sure, whether you choose to stir or not, to choose a nut butter with limited added sugar.
