Almond butter is a food paste made from almonds. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, which are considered by many to be a healthier form of fat than saturated fat. They are an excellent source of Vitamin E and magnesium and a good source of fiber. They also contain protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Its a healthy food option.
It is highly recommended when buying almond butter, to buy one that had the thin brown layers around the actual nut removed since those layers have phytic acid in them and are hard to digest. It is also good to get one that has been ground through cold-press, since heat damages much of the nutrients.
