Most Common Seed Butters Questions
How can I use seed butter?
Seed butters are extremely versatile and can be used as a replacement for your standard spreads and dips. For example, you can switch to seed butters for your PBJ sandwiches instead of peanut butter, which is higher in calories.
You can also use seed butters as a flavor enhancer for oatmeal and smoothies and as dips for crackers or digestive cookies.
How are seed butters better than nut butters?
Nuts are generally higher in calories because they are mostly comprised of fats. Seeds, however, provide a higher quantity of dietary fiber and are denser in their nutrient content than nuts.
Make your snacks healthier with fewer calories using seed butters instead of nut-based or dairy-based butter. Additionally, because of the higher fiber content, you will feel full for longer, helping you avoid unnecessary snacking.
What sweeteners does 88 Acres use in seed butters?
We use natural flavors like maple syrup and palm sugar to provide a deliciously moderate sweetness to our seed butter recipes. In addition to being the healthier alternative to processed sugars, our butters are loaded with minerals derived from palm sugar and nutrients like zinc, calcium, riboflavin, etc., that come from maple syrup.
Additionally, our seed butters contain an organic cocoa powder that enhances their overall taste.
Is it normal for the ingredients of the seed butter to segregate?
Yes, it is normal for the oils in the seed butter to rise to the top. At 88 Acres, we don’t use any additives, emulsifiers, or preservatives to keep the butter homogenized. All our recipes are free from palm oil, leading to ingredient separation.
You will find that once you give the butter a good stir, it will reincorporate all the ingredients back into a homogenized mix.
Which seeds does 88 Acres use for their butter?
Our seed butters are primarily formulated using pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Both these seeds have proven themselves as superfoods for the body, providing many benefits on consumption.
Sunflower seeds are known for their capacity to reduce bad cholesterol levels in the body and provide a good dose of vitamins E and B-6. Additionally, they provide magnesium and phytosterols, which are essential for nerve function and muscle health.
Pumpkin seeds help keep cell damage at bay by providing nutrients like zinc and antioxidants to the body. They are a good source of iron and magnesium as well.
What are some benefits of seed butters?
Seed butter provides high amounts of protein, is dense in nutrient content, and is comparatively lower in calories. As such, it makes them an excellent choice to use as a replacement for nut-based or dairy-based butter.
Additionally, they help improve digestion because of the high fiber content. Being free of palm oil, these butters are extremely low in fat, making them healthier than other spreads you would put on your bread.
