GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind almond butter, plain, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 21.0 g protein and 10.3 g fibre per 100 g.
  • Provides 24.2 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E per 100 g.
  • Provides substantial calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper and manganese.
  • Its spreadable texture can be easier to use than whole almonds in porridge, sauces or on bread.
!

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 614 kcal and 55.5 g fat per 100 g, so spoonfuls can add substantial energy quickly.
  • Contains 227 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.568 g salt per 100 g; unsalted almond butter is a lower-sodium alternative.
  • Almond is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; cross-contact must also be considered.
  • Chunks or spoonfuls of thick nut butter are choking hazards for infants and young children; use an age-appropriate spread or mix it into food.
  • USDA does not report added sugar for this record; commercial products vary in sugar, oils and salt, so the package label supersedes this generic profile.
