Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to standard 'natural' almond butters, Barney Butter is much smoother and does not require the intense stirring typical of oil-separating brands. Because they use California-grown almonds and remove the skins, the flavor is sweeter and less bitter than skin-on varieties. It serves as a superior alternative to peanut butter for those with allergies, as it is produced in one of the few dedicated peanut-free facilities in the USA.

How to use it

1. Spread on apple slices or celery sticks for a quick, nutrient-dense snack.
2. Drizzle over oatmeal or vegan yogurt for added protein and healthy fats.
3. Use as a base for savory almond-lime dipping sauces or salad dressings.
4. Substitute for peanut butter in cookie or brownie recipes at a 1:1 ratio.
