Nut butters all offer healthy fats and nutrients, but versions made from 100% nuts are best. Peanut, almond and cashew butters each have different strengths, so the healthiest choice depends on your nutritional goals.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Identify the key nutritional differences between peanut, almond and cashew butters, including variations in protein, healthy fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
  • Evaluate how added ingredients such as oils, sugars and stabilisers affect the overall healthiness of commercial nut butters.
  • Assess which nut butter aligns best with specific nutritional goals—such as bone health, muscle support, digestion, immune function or energy needs.
