Butters #Butters
Nut butters have exploded in popularity in recent years. Take a peak down the condiment aisle at most grocery stores and you’re bound to find a wide assortment of spreads, from classic peanut butter to newbies like cashew, hazelnut, and pistachio butters. According to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, nut butters deserve a place in a well-rounded diet because they contain several essential nutrients such as healthy fats, protein, fiber, B vitamins, phosphorous, zinc, and vitamin E.
While nut butters can be a healthy and delicious addition to a sandwich or your morning oatmeal, the type of nut butter you choose matters. Look beyond marketing tactics and buy a product that’s actually good for you. That means being a conscious consumer and reading the ingredient list to check that the one you select is low in added sugar, sodium, saturated fat, carbs, and harmful additives. Opt for nut butters that contain natural ingredients and are minimally processed.
While there are many good options out there, these four nut butters should stay out of your shopping cart, as recommended by registered dietitians.
