A Tale of Nut Butters

Someone asked me where I get almond butter. I think it is available wherever peanut butter is available, but I wouldn't know. Why? Because I get the fresh ground.


That's what I like. There's nothing added- no sugar, no preservatives, no stuff I can't pronounce. And it's organic.

That above is $6.99 a pound. I buy 2 or three dollars worth and that lasts me a couple of weeks. Not bad.

Fresh ground peanut butter is also available.


I rarely purchase that. I like the taste of almond butter better.

Now I saw something super interesting the other day at a natural foods store.

Here's a photo. It is a bit fuzzy, as I was sneaking to take the picture.


Can you see that? Macadamian nut butter.

I bet that is something good.

But uh... check out the price. If you can't read it, then that might be a good thing.

$28 for a small jar. $44 for a large jar.

I had to look twice, as I thought I'd moved the decimal point. Maybe the prices were $2.80 and $4.40 for the small and large jars respectively.

No. I was reading the prices right.

The small is no more than 8 ounces. The large looks like a 12 ounce jar.

I tell you what... I will let ya'll fool with that. You let me know how it is.

For now, I will just stick with my almond butter.

That's good enough for me.

  1. After your post I went and bought me some almond butter. I was luck to find a jar for $5.99 all the rest were closer to $9. Why so expensive? Anyway, I really like it with my granny smith apples.

    1. @chele... The one you bought may not have been organic. Once you go organic, the price doubles. Price is also higher if it's certified organic and/or locally made, not processed in the same place as peanuts, etc.

      I like the fresh ground out the machine. No additives.

      I'ma need you to go buy some macadamian nut butter and let me know how that is!

      Glad you like it with granny smith apples. Before finding my apple sandwich recipe, I would have never thought to put the two together. Definitely one of my favorite snacks.

    1. Mind you, that is organic, sprouted and it is stone ground. I think the "stone ground" jumps it up even more in price.

      Not paying $44. I don't even like macadamian nuts. Sigh.
