ORGANIC ALMOND BUTTER, roasted, smooth

Botanical Name: Prunus dulcis
Certified Organic
Origin: Italy/Canada
Production: organic almonds are gently roasted and ground to a creamy, smooth paste.
Qualities: Almonds are a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins like B2, biotin, and E as well as many essential minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, copper, and zinc. They are also rich in dietary fiber and mono and polyunsaturated fats. Typical of many nuts and seeds, almonds contain phytosterols which have been associated with cholesterol-lowering properties. 
Results from a recent study [1] showed evidence that nut consumption (about 20 almonds) may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease, total cancer, and all-cause mortality, and possibly mortality from diabetes, respiratory disease, and infectious disease. 
Common Use: Almond butter makes everything better :) Use as a spread, in dressings or sauces, or whipped up in a blender (with some dates and a pinch of salt if desired) to make instant almond milk.
Storage: to preserve freshness, keep refrigerated in a sealed container. Temperatures for long-term storage are −3 to 0 °C (27 to 32 °F) and low humidity
