Re: Question about roasted nut butters

[Guest guest]

All peanut butter is made from roasted peanuts. So, in that case, yes.... it's

fine if the label just says " peanuts and salt " as the ingredients. We are

supposed to stay away from dry roasted whole nuts, because they often have a

coating of starch to hold on the seasonings (salts, etc.).

I use an almond butter that is made from roasted almonds.... but they're just

plain. They're free of any of the type of starch coating that might be present

in a snack nut. I grind it right at the store, so I can see the nuts they start

out with, and was able to ask the store manager to give me details on the nuts

from the packaging.

You might need to get more information from the company that makes the

particular nut butter you want to use. Many have websites (Arrowhead Mills,

etc.) that give detailed label info and contact info for asking further

questions.
