Hazelnut Butter

#1

Hi folks.

This is my first post here. I just wanted to share a little secret: hazelnut butter!

Hazelnuts are about 60% fat by weight. The fatty acid profile is almost identical to olive oil:

  • 75% monounsaturated fat
  • 16% polyunsaturated fat
  • 8% saturated fat

So if you’re looking for a delicious keto snack, try hazelnut butter. I just eat it with a spoon.

But what are the carbs?

Sounds delicious. Another to keep an eye out for is pecan butter. I don’t recall the various fats/protein for the pecan butter but I do remember it was one net carb per serving.

12g carb per tablespoon. Stunningly, some think a Tablespoon is a heaped desert spoon, it is not! The best spoons are cook spoons that measure acurately

Right? I have this neat little adjustable number that I got from walmart.

What? Are you saying this doesn’t count as a tablespoon of peanut butter? I used a table spoon to scoop it. :thinking:

Is that what Beck is singing about in that song?

After studying food labels, I think your nut butter list is wrong.

I never heard of it but I’d try it. :slight_smile:

I love my costco almond butter and I always find new ways to use it.
