Selecting, storing & prepping almond butter
- Selecting
- Natural almond butter should list almonds as the only (or nearly only) ingredient; many commercial versions add sugar, palm oil, or salt, which changes both the nutrition profile and shelf stability.
- Storing
- Natural almond butter without stabilizers is best stored in the refrigerator after opening to slow oil separation and rancidity; it keeps about 3-4 months once opened.
- Prepping
- Stirring natural almond butter thoroughly before the first use redistributes the oil that naturally separates and rises to the top during storage.

Key metrics
Nutrient density
Per 100 kcal, almond butter delivers about 4% of a Daily Value on average across 22 beneficial nutrients. The score is its percentile for that measure among the 177 foods in our database — higher means more nutrition per calorie. How this is calculated.
- More potassium than 98% of foods · 79% of nuts & seeds
- More magnesium than 98% of foods · 71% of nuts & seeds
- More fiber than 94% of foods · 71% of nuts & seeds
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
