Almond butter
Almond butter is a food paste made from grinding almonds into a nut butter. Almond butter may be "crunchy" or "smooth", and is generally "stir" or "no-stir". Almond butter may be either raw or roasted, but this describes the almonds themselves, prior to grinding.
Almond butter is an alternative to peanut butter for those with peanut allergies. Almond butter contains significantly more fiber, calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese than peanut butter, and about half the saturated fat, although a slightly higher total fat content. Almonds, a type of tree nut, are not legumes, whereas peanuts are, so almond butter can not be consumed by those have tree nut allergies.
