We also hear that you are concerned about Xylitol and Palm Oil as they are harmful to dogs and puppies.

Where are your nuts and seeds sourced from? Although we have updated the design and not stated all of the Vitamins & Minerals as previously labelled, the product remains the same and includes all of the Vitamins & Minerals as previously described (Folic Acid, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6 and Cyancobalamin B12).

To save you some money and make sure you spread only the best on your morning sourdough, we've taste-tested a whole range to create the ultimate nut butter ranking. We can confidently say that all our products fully comply with EU standards for Aflatoxin/Mycotoxin.

You can also add almond butter to your baking to add a rich, sweet flavour to your cakes and biscuits.Ever since wellness gurus like Ella Mills introduced us to almond butter, the nut butter market has exploded — and we've all realised there's much more to life than the humble peanut butter we ate as kids. Whereas Pip & Nut Almond Butter is the smooth alternative spread and a great source of both protein and vitamin E. Our nut butters are labelled using information taken from a number of sources including McCance and Widdowson, The Composition of Foods, from data from our suppliers and samples analysed by accredited laboratories. All are recognised and approved source of information for food labelling. Based on those values, we also make corrections for water loss on roasting which explains the differences you can see on other roasted nuts. Are all of the Meridian products suitable for vegans? Made from crushing and grinding freshly roasted almonds into a paste, almond butter is a spreadable food which is perfect for spreading on toast or adding to biscuit recipes. We pride ourselves on using 100% nuts and nothing extra. As a result, the natural oils from the nuts can rise to the top. Other brands often use palm oil, sugar, salt, stabilisers and preservatives and it’s palm oil which acts as an emulsifier to bind the product together. This is why other brands using palm oil don’t have any trouble with oil separation.

Or if you prefer your cooking to be savoury, almond butter can be added to curries, stews and soups. Smooth almond butter is usually more popular amongst children, who generally dislike any kind of lumps in their food! Almond butter is available in a range of flavours including coconut, pumpkin spice and even cherry Bakewell flavour!When it’s colder, it can separate and form little white dots, snowflakes, pea sized beads on the surface of the nut butter. Please be assured that this is normal and remains safe. These can be mixed in and will disappear on your warm toast! Why is my nut butter too runny? too dry? Biona Crunchy Organic Almond Butter is certified as an organic almond butter and is made with 100% almonds, no added sugars and no palm oil.

Our entire range of products are suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. Are your nut and seed butters gluten free? Price points on nut butters can vary hugely with supermarket own-brands often costing under two pounds a jar, while other high-end brands sold in shops like Plant Organic reaching nearer six pounds. That's a lot of pounds per peanut! We are proud of our pledge to never use palm oil or stabilisers to emulsify our products and it’s because of this that the oils sometimes separate. Coconut oil is white when solid and clear when liquid. Of course, there is an even more popular way to eat almond butter for breakfast. Almond butter is delicious when spread on a slice or two of toast for a simple breakfast that is ready in a couple of minutes.

We don’t use palm oil – at Meridian we pride ourselves on our pledge never to use palm oil in any of our products. We have cultivated strong links with a charity called International Animal Rescue and our partnership is very important, contributing to the welfare of the Orangutans and the overall success of crucial projects. We sustainably source a wide range of nuts and seeds with countries of origin varying based on seasons and availability. Are your nuts and seeds screened for Aflatoxin? Evidence suggests that the inclusion of the monounsaturated fats to your diet can help to promote the healthier type of cholesterol in our blood.

We dry roast our nuts at just the right temperature so that there is no need to add any extra oils or fats when making our nut butters. Our peanut butters are created with 100% nuts, or with just a pinch of salt added, so any oil within the jar is naturally occurring and has not come from an added source. In addition, you won’t find brands that include added sugars or artificial flavourings as they simply don't stand up to the competition, so all the products ranked below are either 100% nut or close to. In cold weather, the oils within our nut butters, more often in our coconut range but also in our cashew butter and Chocca, once separated may harden and solidify partially. The consistency does not affect the nutrients but you may notice small white lumps that may resemble small grains of rice. But, with almond butter, cashew butter, dark roast peanut butter, cocoa and cashew butter, how are you meant to choose which one to add to your weekly shop? And….Richer Roast tastes incredibly indulgent and everything you would want from a peanut butter. What does unsaturated fat actually mean?
