Almond butter

Almond butter shares its classification with almonds themselves, which are rated as a 1 on the SIGHI list, meaning they are usually well-tolerated in smaller amounts, but can trigger allergic or pseudoallergic reactions in more sensitive individuals. However, increased caution is recommended with nut spreads, as their smooth consistency makes it very easy to unintentionally consume a large amount of nuts at once, quickly exceeding one's individual tolerance threshold. The overall purity of the product is also crucial; it is essential to choose exclusively 100% natural almond butter without added sugars, cheap vegetable oils, emulsifiers, or artificial preservatives, which could pose an additional burden on the enzymatic system. When introducing almond butter into the diet, it is therefore recommended to start with a very small test portion (for example, one teaspoon) and carefully monitor the body's individual reaction in the following hours.
