Despite the name, our peanut butters and almond butters do not contain any actual dairy. In fact, our nut butter range is entirely dairy free.

Yep! Almond butter is a great addition to a healthy balanced diet. Like peanut butter, almond butter is source of natural protein and, it's high in fibre (which means they have more than 6g of fibre per 100g) - great for keeping a happy gut. Almond butter is packed full of mono-unsaturated fats (the 'good' kind) so it's a great addition to breakfast on toast, porridge and in smoothies. We also love it as a healthy snack with rice cakes, apple slices, or straight from the spoon!

Well the fundamental difference is the nuts! Peanut butter is made from peanuts and almond butter from (yep, you guessed it) almonds. In our opinion both are equally delicious and here at The Nest we always have jars of every flavour open. Plain almond butter is a bit more savoury than plain peanut butter (because our peanuts are naturally sweeter, not because we add any sugar). From a nutritional perspective, there is a common perception that almond butter is the healthier choice as it is higher in mono-unsaturated fats, however as we use hi-oleic peanuts both our almond and peanut butters are a great source of mono-unsaturated fats. Both peanut and almond butters are also naturally high in fibre and a source of protein.

Unsustainable palm oil production has been responsible for huge amounts of deforestation in recent years which has had severe consequences on both the environment and local communities. As well as being damaging to the environment, it is also high in saturated fat, which we should avoid consuming too much of. This is why you'll never find palm oil in any Pip & Nut product.
