So what is the deal with almond butter?

It isn't 'butter'...it is some kind of non-dairy alternative regardless of how they attempt to brand it to consumers. I like almonds and I like REAL butter. Let's keep them separated where they belong. It is just more BS from the food industry that likes to pretend that almond 'milk' is actually milk.

Everyone knows what they mean and the ingredients are on the back.

Simmer down there killer.

It’s false advertising and shouldn’t be allowed even if consumers are smart enough to know the difference. Lying about your product is fundamentally wrong.

Drys mouth? cyanide drys your mouth, try eating a chokecherry. I'll stick to eating real butter, preferably LOL European style if it's on sale for under three bucks a pound.

Ummm, I have never once bought peanut butter and thought it was anything like or interchangeable with real butter.

What are you smoking? I usually agree with you, but I can't this time. Please tell me I am simply missing the sarcasm.

On the other hand, if you can afford more expensive stuff, there is a wealth of buttery nuts out there. Sunflower butter wasn't too bad.

First off, you will get the oil with any natural nut butter, even natural peanut butter. What you do is put the tub or jar upside down when you aren't using it. The oil will rise to the top (bottom). Then, when you get ready to use it, flip it over and open just before. The oil will take some time working its way to the top of the tub or jar and in the meantime, you get what you need. Then you stir it up when you get to the bottom of the tub or jar.

.

well that makes sense.

and what is the deal with the outside of the jar being greasy?

Thats so it makes it easier when they stick to you for 9 bucks a jat.

Is it a glass jar? If so store it in a cooler place.

Yeah some of the brands are very dry for sure!

I make my own nut/seed butters. Less expensive than buying nut butters and I can control what goes in.
Walnut butter is super yummy! So is pistachio!
