FRESHEST ALMONDS. GENUINE FLAVOR. SUPERIOR QUALITY.

FAQs: Almondie Almond Butter

1. What Makes Almondie Different from Regular Almond Butter?

Almondie is different because of both what we use and how we process it. We start with Premium “A-grade” California almonds, carefully selected for quality and nutrition. 

The almonds are soaked, then mechanically peeled ,removing the thin brown skin without heat or chemicals. The outer skin can be harder to digest, and removing it the right way makes Almondie smoother, whiter, and easier on the stomach.

Unlike most almond butters, which are often made from roasted almonds, almond flour-filled imitations, or heat-processed pastes, Almondie stays fully raw and whole throughout production.  

The result is a creamy white almond butter that’s not only delicious as a spread, but can also be mixed with water to create pure almond milk. No additives, no preservatives, and no flour fillers.

2. Why is it recommended to soak almonds in water?

Soaking almonds helps improve digestion and supports better nutrient absorption. Raw almonds contain natural compounds that can make them harder for the body to break down when eaten unsoaked.

At Almondie, our almonds are carefully soaked to naturally loosen the skin, which is then gently removed using our exclusive, chemical-free peeling process. This allows us to remove what the body doesn’t need, while preserving the nutrients it does.

The soaking process helps make almonds easier to digest and enhances the availability of key nutrients. For those preparing almonds at home, soaking them in water for at least 6 hours is recommended to enjoy these benefits.

3. Why do we peel our almonds?

At Almondie, we remove the thin brown skin of our almonds to support easier digestion and better nutrient absorption. While the inner almond (kernel) is rich in essential nutrients, the outer skin contains natural compounds such as tannins and enzyme inhibitors, which can make almonds harder to digest for some people and may reduce the absorption of certain minerals.

By removing the peel, we are left with the pure inner almond — the part that provides the most nutritional benefit. Peeled almonds are often better tolerated, especially by individuals with sensitive digestion or specific dietary needs.

The inner almond is also a natural source of important minerals, including calcium, which plays a role in supporting digestive balance and may help reduce stomach discomfort associated with excess acidity.

Our goal at Almondie is to create an almond butter that is gentle, nourishing, and suitable for a wide range of people, including those with digestive sensitivities or other health considerations.

4. How Are Raw Almonds Ground for Almondie?

Raw almonds are naturally hard and difficult to grind. Most manufacturers roast almonds first to make grinding easier, but roasting reduces nutritional value.

Almondie uses an exclusive one-of-a-kind grinding machine designed specifically for raw, unroasted almonds. This machine grinds the almonds at very low temperatures, without generating heat.

By keeping the almonds raw during grinding, we preserve their natural nutrients, enzymes, healthy fats, and clean almond flavor, delivering a smooth, creamy butter that’s both nutritious and easy to digest.

5. What Makes Almondie’s Peeling and Grinding Technology Unique?

Almondie is crafted using two proprietary one-of-a-kind machines designed to protect the almond’s rawness and nutritional integrity from start to finish. These machines were engineered by Roger Berman, specifically to process nuts and seeds without heat. Something standard industrial equipment cannot achieve.

  • Our exclusive in-house–developed peeling machine removes the almond’s brown skin using a mechanical process without chemicals.
  • Our proprietary, one-of-a-kind grinding machine then grinds the peeled almonds using a cold-press process, while keeping them completely raw throughout the process. 

Because the almonds remain raw throughout the entire process, their natural nutrients stay intact, making Almondie cleaner, easier to absorb, and nutritionally superior. Traditional methods rely on heat to grind almonds, which can compromise nutrient quality and digestibility. Almondie’s technology is designed to avoid that entirely.

6. Is Almondie Roasted at Any Point?

After the almonds are mechanically peeled, they are immediately ground cold using our proprietary, one-of-a-kind grinding machine. This cold-press process ensures the almonds remain 100% raw from start to finish. This process preserves the almonds’ natural enzymes, nutrients, and delicate flavor.

7. What kind of flavor does Almondie Almond Butter have without the thin brown skin?

Without the thin brown skin, Almondie Almond Butter has a naturally mild, pure, and slightly sweet flavor. The bitterness that often comes from the skin is completely removed, allowing the pure taste of raw almonds to shine through.

The result is a creamy, velvety white spreadable almond butter with a rich, pleasant taste and a smooth, delicate, and authentic flavor that’s easy on the palate. Almondie feels lighter, fresher, and more digestible than typical almond butters, making it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes.

8. What Makes Almondie Different From Blanched or Flour-Filled Almond Butters?

Most almond butters labeled as “peeled” or “blanched” are not made from whole almonds. In many cases, they are produced using blanched almond flour, a lower-grade, industrial byproduct created after almonds are heat-processed, dried, and ground into flour. These flour-based butters are often roasted or blended with fillers and heavily processed to imitate the color and texture of true peeled-almond butter.  

Almondie is completely different.  

Almondie starts with Premium “A-grade”, whole California almonds. Never almond flour, scraps, or roasted leftovers. Each almond is soaked and mechanically peeled using our in-house developed machine that uses no chemicals at all. The peeled raw almonds are then ground in cold press by our proprietary, one-of-a-kind grinding machine , which keeps them fully raw throughout the process and preserves their natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and clean flavor.

9. How Do I Make Almond Milk Using Almondie, and How Is It Different from Store-Bought Almond Milk?

With Almondie, making almond milk is fast and effortless. compared to homemade almond milk that requires soaking almonds overnight, blending them with water, and straining the mixture, a process that takes time and creates waste. 

To make almond milk from almondie simply blend 1 tablespoon of Almondie Almond Butter with 1 cup of water until smooth. (You can easily adjust the consistency by adding more water for a lighter milk or more Almondie for a creamier, richer texture). For flavor, you may add natural ingredients such as dates, honey, vanilla, or a small pinch of salt, fully customizing your milk to your taste.

Almondie almond milk is fundamentally different from store-bought versions. Most commercial almond milks contain very few actual almonds and rely on added sugars, emulsifiers, stabilizers, gums, and preservatives to achieve texture and shelf life. In contrast, Almondie milk is made from 100% pure almonds only.

Almondie acts as a pure almond milk concentrate, giving you complete control over freshness, ingredients, and nutrition. It delivers clean, natural almond milk that’s as close to homemade as possible—without soaking, straining, or unnecessary additives.

10. Is Almondie Almond Butter Safe and Beneficial for Babies and Young Children?

Almondie Almond Butter may be a safe and nourishing option for babies and young children once nuts have been properly introduced and approved for your child’s developmental stage. As with any new food, especially nut-based products—we strongly recommend consulting your child’s physician or a qualified nutritionist before adding Almondie to their diet. This helps ensure it’s appropriate for your child’s individual needs and sensitivities.

Almondie is made from mechanically peeled, raw almonds and contains no added sugar, salt, preservatives, or fillers, which makes it a gentle option for developing digestive systems. Its smooth texture and clean composition allow it to be easily mixed into age-appropriate foods.

When approved by a healthcare professional, Almondie can be incorporated safely by:

  • Mixing it into soft cereals or porridges

  • Blending it into dairy-free beverages

  • Stirring it into purées or other soft foods

This allows children to benefit from almonds without the choking risk of whole nuts.

Almondie provides naturally occurring healthy fats, plant-based protein, and calcium, which can support balanced nutrition during early growth stages. Many nutrition professionals appreciate Almondie for its simple ingredients and gentle digestibility.

As always, every child is unique—so professional guidance is key to making the best nutritional choices.

Please Note:

While Almondie Almond Butter can act in many cases as a preventative measure against malnutrition for your child, it does not provide complete nutrition for your infant. Consult your physician or nutritionist about how to supplement Almondie with vital nutrients such as vitamins A, D, C, B-12, and amino acids.

11. Can I use Almondie Almond Butter for Cooking and Baking?

Absolutely! Almondie’s smooth texture and mild, naturally sweet flavor make it perfect for a variety of recipes. Whether you're stirring it into sauces, blending it into smoothies, or baking it into cookies, muffins, or energy bars, Almondie adds a wholesome boost of plant-based protein and healthy fats without overpowering the taste of your dish.

12. Does Almondie Almond Butter Need to Be Refrigerated, and What Is Its Shelf Life?

Almondie Almond Butter is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration before or after opening. To maintain optimal freshness and flavor, it’s best to store it in a cool, dry place. After opening, the butter remains good for up to 1 year when stored properly.

While refrigeration isn’t necessary, you may choose to refrigerate it if you prefer a thicker consistency or want to naturally extend its shelf life. Just remember to stir well before each use, as natural oil separation may occur.

13. Is Almondie Almond Butter Kosher?

Yes, Almondie Almond Butter is certified Kosher.

All Field of Nuts Nut Butters, including Almondie, are produced under the strict supervision of the Badatz Eida Chareidis in Jerusalem, Israel—one of the most trusted kosher certification agencies worldwide.

Additionally, all ingredients used in Field of Nuts Nut Butters are certified Kosher Pareve, meaning they contain neither dairy nor meat ingredients.

14. What Should I Do If the Butter Hardens or the Oil Separates?

Oil separation is completely natural in Almondie Almond Butter due to the absence of emulsifiers or stabilizers. The natural oils may rise to the top, while the butter may firm up over time.

To restore its smooth, creamy texture, simply stir the butter manually with a spoon until fully blended. For easier mixing, you can also use a hand mixer with a dough hook attachment—insert it into the jar and start on the lowest setting to avoid splashing, increasing the speed gradually if needed.
