And how many Almonds had to die just to make that celery palatable......

Correct! Other than a nut butter boat, celery is just a seasoning.

Almond butter On a rice cake topped with sliced strawberries is heavenly

Almond butter on a spoon works for me. Cashew butter too.

And peanut butter will always remain #1.

I just thickened some wonderful garden fresh broccoli soup with almond butter. Who knew?

A few days ago, SWMBO purchased a jar of almond butter at Trader Joe's. She loves that stuff!

What she doesn't know is that rhino (HWMO) is eating it right now.

I may need a place to stay tonight.

I suggest hiding anything with sharp edges

Whipped up some Almond butter in the Vitamix last evening. I used the salted/roasted almonds I had on hand.

The Bottom Line

[FONT=&amp]Both raw and roasted nuts are good for you and provide health benefits.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Both varieties contain similar amounts of calories, protein, carbs and fiber.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]However, roasting nuts may damage their healthy fat, reduce their nutrient content and lead to the formation of a harmful substance called acrylamide.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]On the other side, raw nuts are more likely than roasted nuts to contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]That said, these risks are low.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Importantly, how nuts are roasted can have a big impact on their nutrient content. If you roast them yourself, keep the temperature relatively low, at about 284°F (140°C) for 15 minutes. The nuts should come out with a lightly roasted color.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Also, make sure not to store them for too long, since they have a limited shelf life. Only roast nuts that you are planning to eat over the next few days.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]The final recommendation is simple — include raw or roasted nuts in your diet for better health.

Raw or roasted = All good. Mold or rancid food is always a possibility. Take probiotics or fermented food and you can eat just about anything without fear of eating something bad. You can drink raw apple cider vinegar, kombucha, or kefir to provide probiotics. Probiotics can also cure acid reflux and krones. Kefir has an effect on the blood so excessive amounts can cause marital issues.

Very helpful info, thank you. I've been roasting at 350 for 8 minutes. I'll give your figures a try.

Fermented foods and ACV are regulars in my diet. This is good affirmation.

Best thread title I've read this week!

I've got a real problem with anything called 'nut butter'. Call me crazy, but it doesn't sit well with the Wild Turkey.

Aye.

Been on this recipe for about six months now. It might be the final edition?

Roasted Almonds

17 minutes @ 285 degrees (set oven timer, let cool in oven)
Smoked sweet paprika / green garlic powder / salt / black pepper
Stirred to cover in enough ghee to be wet
