FRESHEST ALMONDS. GENUINE FLAVOR. SUPERIOR QUALITY.

FAQs: Almondie Almond Butter

Why is Almondie superior to consuming raw & unpeeled almonds?

If consumed whole, the nutrients from almonds are not completely absorbed into the bloodstream. Almondie Almond Butter is produced from ground almonds in a cold press process. The grinding process breaks down the cellular structure of the almonds and exposes all of the nutrients that comprise almonds to the digestive system.

Our almond butter is produced from presh, prime almonds which have had their thin inner peels removed during our manufacturing process. Almond peels contain tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which may contribute to indigestion. The almonds are soaked in cold water, and then go through an intensive machine that peels them gently. This process makes Almondie more digestible than raw almonds.

Peeled or unpeeled almonds? Which are better?

An almond is a combination of two things, the kernel and the brown peel. The brown peel contains tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which hinder digestion. The inner almond nut is full of calcium, which is an antacid natural medicine. Eating peeled, raw almond kernels such as those in Almondie, therefore aids digestion by reducing stomach acid.

Why do people prefer to eat Almondie Almond Butter rather than raw nut kernels?

When buying raw peeled, store-bought almonds, they are often coated with preservatives to keep them fresh.

When buying sliced or slivered almonds, they are usually dried or roasted, which takes away many of the nutritional benefits.

Eating Almondie assures that all the vitamins and minerals are completely utilized. When you eat a tablespoon of Almondie Almond Butter, within seconds an abundance of nutrients will absorb into your bloodstream giving you energy, leading to increased strength and vitality.

How do fresh, peeled almonds affect our digestive system?

At Almondie, we remove the thin inner peels of our almonds in order to increase the digestibility of our almond butter. The thin inner peels of almonds contain tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, both of which hinder the digestive system. Almondie’s goal is to manufacture a product which will be suitable for anyone, including those suffering from digestive issues and other medical conditions.

What is the purpose of soaking almonds, and why do people remove the skin?

Our unique Field of Nuts Almond Butter made from fresh, prime almonds that have been peeled from their outer skin. The almonds are soaked in cold water, and then go through an intensive machine that peels them gently.

Peeling breaks down the enzyme inhibitors and in that sense does make them more easily digestible. Soaking leaches out some tannic acid, which interferes with the absorption of a lot of vitamins and minerals, especially iron. That is why often, people who eat almonds remove the skin.

Why is Almondie superior to other kinds of blanched almond butters in the market?

Enjoy Almondie as a delicious creamy spread or make it into 100% Pure Almond Milk. Almondie is made from raw, unroasted, peeled, carefully selected, sustainably-grown, California almonds. Almondie contains absolutely no chemicals, preservatives, or added sugar.

Field of Nuts uses patented machines for peeling the fresh, prime raw almonds in a cold process and then immediately grinding them cold in the same factory. These cold processes allow the almonds to retain all their nutritional value and naturally sweet flavor.

Some other brands of almond butters are made from blanched almonds that are peeled (using boiling water which diminishes the almonds’ nutritional value) in one facility and ground in another. Therefore the almonds need to be coated in chemicals in order to preserve them and prevent them from going bad.

How many almonds are contained in one teaspoon of Almondie Almond Butter?

There are approximately 6 almonds in a teaspoon.

What happens when the butter hardens and the oil separates to the top?

Almondie Almond Butter has a naturally smooth, creamy texture, and oil separation is normal. The natural oil will float to the top. Oil separation occurs naturally in our nut and seed butters, since they do not contain emulsifiers or stabilizers (additives that maintain texture).

Simply mix Almondie Almond Butter manually with a teaspoon until the oil and butter is recombined.

You can recombine Almondie with a hand mixer using one of the dough hook attachments. Place the dough hook inside the jar and turn on the mixer to the lowest setting to prevent the oil from splattering. Gradually increase the speed if necessary.

Is Almondie similar to peanut butter? Why is my jar of Almondie so creamy?

Almondie is an almond butter with an especially creamy texture and delicious taste.

You expected to receive a product with the firm texture you associate with peanut butter. Instead, Almondie naturally separates with the more solid butter underneath, and the top being more liquid.

This is why it is important to thoroughly mix Almondie together before use. Emulsifiers are the chemical ingredients that give peanut butter a firm consistency by combining the natural peanut oils with the ground peanuts. Our dedication to pure and raw ingredients means a creamier, purer texture without any preservative, additives or sugars added.
