"Alison Ellis, MSc., registered dietitian, and founder of The Toddler Kitchen in Victoria, B.C., sat down with Tasting Table to explain five of the best nuts that foodies can eat - and, when it comes to almonds, one of the best ways to enjoy them is via almond butter. In spreadable form, almond butter makes a versatile, flavorful, nutrient-dense component that can easily elevate your favorite recipes."
"The distinctive, rich, sweet-meets-salty flavor profile of almond butter makes bright, refreshing apples a more substantial food, satisfying hunger longer. According to Ellis, "Almonds are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, but one of their most impressive nutritional benefits is their high vitamin E content, which is a powerful antioxidant." In the body, vitamin E fights disease-causing free radicals, promotes vision health, and boosts the immune system."
Almond butter is a versatile, spreadable, nutrient-dense food rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, and especially vitamin E. Pairing almond butter with apple slices and hemp hearts creates a balanced snack that prolongs satiety while delivering flavor and texture. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that combats free radicals, supports vision health, and boosts immune function. One tablespoon of unsalted almond butter contains about 3.4 grams of protein, 1.6 grams of fiber, and 9 grams of healthy fats. Hemp hearts are hulled hemp seed kernels with a mild nutty flavor and chewy texture that suit both sweet and savory dishes. Once Again unsweetened lightly toasted creamy almond butter is a recommended brand.
