FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does almond butter last?
Unopened jars last up to a year. Once opened, it is best consumed within 3-6 months if refrigerated.
Why does the oil separate at the top?
Natural almond butter contains no emulsifiers, so the oil naturally separates from the solids. Simply stir it back in.
Can almond butter be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze almond butter for up to 6 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well before using.
What is the best substitute for almond butter?
Cashew butter or sunflower seed butter are the best substitutes. Peanut butter also works if nut allergies are not a concern.
Is almond butter healthier than peanut butter?
Almond butter generally has more Vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium, though both offer similar protein and calorie counts.
How can I tell if almond butter has gone bad?
Check for a sharp, bitter, or soapy smell (rancidity) and any visible mold or significant change in texture.
Is almond butter safe for those with peanut allergies?
While almonds are tree nuts and distinct from peanuts, many facilities process both. Check for 'cross-contamination' labels.
What should I look for when buying almond butter?
Look for brands where the only ingredient is 'almonds' or 'roasted almonds' to avoid added sugars and hydrogenated oils.
