Nut butters: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Nut butters are spreads made from ground nuts, often with added ingredients. This category includes peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, and others. When choosing a nut butter, it's helpful to check the nutrition information and ingredient list. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends that foods high in fat, salt, or sugar should be eaten less often and in smaller amounts. Look for nut butters with fewer added sugars and salt. Salt content is usually declared on the packaging. The ingredient list shows what the product contains, with the main ingredients listed first. Ideally, a nut butter would have nuts as the primary ingredient. Some nut butters also contain added oils, sugars, or salt, which will be listed here. Choosing nut butters with a shorter ingredient list and fewer added extras can be a good approach. Fibre content can also be a useful indicator, as nuts are a source of fibre.
