Nut Butter 1 article

Nut butter is a broad spread category made by grinding nuts or nut-like culinary seeds into a paste, ranging from peanut and almond butter to cashew and mixed-nut products. Smooth and crunchy textures are common, while natural styles may separate as oil rises and stabilized versions may include added oils, salt, or sweeteners. The specific nut or seed determines allergen and flavor context. Ingredient lists are therefore more useful than the generic category name when comparing nutrition or formulation.
