Description
Almond butter is a creamy paste made from roasted and ground almonds. It has a smooth texture and a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, making it a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory recipes.
This product has its origins in various cultures that have consumed almonds for centuries, but its processing into butter form is especially popular in healthy cooking and in the preparation of snacks and desserts in the United States and other countries.
Regarding its properties, almond butter is an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based proteins, fiber, vitamins such as E, and minerals like magnesium and iron. It is a nutritious alternative to traditional butter and other spreads high in saturated fats.
In Latin America, almond butter may also be known as almond paste or almond cream, terms used in different countries to refer to this product in cooking recipes and food preparation.
