Nutritional benefits of nut butter

The nutritional benefits depend on the nut butter you choose. At Grape Tree, we provide delicious almond, cashew, and peanut butter. Keep reading for the nutritional benefits of each one.

Almond butter - Almond is a well-known superfood and extremely high in protein. This makes almond butter a great snack if you are following a keto diet or want to increase your protein intake. It has essential fatty acids to lower blood pressure and regulate sugar levels. Almonds also contain iron to enhance energy levels and boost your immune system.

Our almond butter contains 100% almonds without any additives. Each nut has had its skin removed before being crushed and whipped to form a deliciously smooth butter.

Cashew butter - Cashews have a sweet taste and contain vitamin C - essential for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and helps build arteries, hair, skin, nails, muscles, bone tissue and tendons.

Our cashew butter is made of 100% cashews, which are roasted and then crushed into a smooth and nutritious paste.

Peanut butter - Possibly one of the most well-known nut butters, peanut butter is a staple in many homes. Peanuts are packed with protein and are a source of amino acids, which help build collagen. They also provide antioxidants to protect your body against inflammation, promoting healthy blood flow and increased heart health.

Natural Selection Smooth Peanut Butter is made in the UK with no added sugar or palm oil and is an excellent choice for vegans.
