amounts of the key plant compounds shown on their labels. Products

As
a follow-up to my last better-than-store-bought
adventure... I finally got around to making a nut butter! I
meant to make almond butter, but after a mental lapse at the
grocery store I found myself with a pound of cashews. Ah, well. I
grabbed some Swanson Macadamia
Nut Oil and the food processor and got to work. I'll skip the

Think again, especially if someone in your home has a peanut
allergy and you’ve given up the whole PB&J thing. Your options
range from almond, cashew, pistachio, hazelnut and macadamia
nut
butters.
Another option is seed butters. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are a
great spread option for anyone allergic to tree nuts.
