Nut butter and seed butter are truly enchanted ingredients.

Nut butter is a spreadable foodstuff made by grinding nuts into a paste and the result has a high-fat content. Because of its creamy texture can be spread on toast, mixed into baked goods or cookies and even eaten when you need a quick boost of energy from its high levels of plant-based protein.

Nut butter can also be used as dipping sauces for apples and bananas, toppings for oatmeal or smoothie bowls, and ingredients in Asian sauces.

Nut and seed butter have a high content of protein, fibre, and essential fatty acids. Nuts also have plenty of other nutrients like Vitamins E and B6, folate, niacin, magnesium, zinc, copper, and potassium and can be used to replace butter or margarine on bread or toast.
