Nut butter

A nut butter is a type of spread. It is made by grinding dry roasted nuts until the fat separates.[1] Different nut butters have different textures and flavours. The most commonly known nut butter in the United States is peanut butter.

Types

Any nut can be used to make a nut butter. Here are some examples.[1]

Some seeds with enough fat (e.g. from sunflowers,[2] sesame,[3] and pumpkins) are also used to make something similar.
