Nut Butters

What Are Nut Butters?

Nut butter is a smooth, creamy, or crunchy spread made by grinding nuts into a paste. It is a simple pantry staple, and nut butters can differ widely from one jar to the next. Some are smooth and pourable, others thick and crunchy. Flavour changes with the nut used, whether it is roasted, and whether the skin is kept on. Some nut butters are made from a single ingredient, while others are blended with spices or flavourings. These differences make it easy to find a nut butter that suits your toast, your smoothie, or your dessert recipe.

Types of Nut Butters Available at Urban Platter

Our nut butters collection covers classic spreads, premium nut pastes, and specialty flavours.

Almond Butter

Almond butter comes in a few styles. Almond butter with skin has a bold, nutty flavour, while almond butter without skin has a lighter, smoother character. Creamy varieties are ideal for spreading and blending, and our crunchy almond butter includes roasted almond bits for added texture.

Peanut Butter

Our peanut butter range includes natural creamy peanut butter that is unsweetened with no added oil, and crunchy peanut butter with a bold roasted flavour. For a regional twist, there is Kathiawadi unsweetened peanut butter, and for those who like heat, peanut butter with Byadgi chilli. Packs range from 200g to 1kg.

Hazelnut Butter

Hazelnut butter is rich and bold in flavour. It is available with skin and without skin, in 250g and 500g jars. The with-skin version is described as bold and nutty. Check the product page for the full details on each variety.

Cashew Butter

Cashew butter has a creamy consistency and a mild, rich flavour, which makes it easy to spread and blend. It comes as a single-ingredient spread in 250g and 500g jars.

Pistachio Paste

Pishori pistachio paste is a concentrated nut spread made from pure pistachios. Use it in desserts, baking, beverages, and other recipes where you want a distinct pistachio flavour. It is available in a 150g jar.

Macadamia Butter

Macadamia butter is a delicate, creamy spread. Enjoy it on toast, stir it into oats, or use it as an ingredient in recipes that call for a smooth, mild nut butter.

Flavoured and Specialty Nut Butters

For something different, try our specialty range. Cashew coconut butter with saffron and cardamom is a fragrant spread that suits desserts, warm drinks, and sweet snacks. Thandai nut butter, made with almonds, cashews, and pistachios, brings the flavours of a traditional festive drink into a spread. Peanut butter with Byadgi chilli adds a spicy kick to sandwiches, snacks, and savoury recipes.

Why Choose Quality Nut Butters?

A few checks help you pick quality nut butters:

• Ingredient information: Look for clear labelling that tells you exactly what is in the jar.
• Texture and consistency: The spread should match what you want to use it for, whether that is smooth, creamy, or crunchy.
• Fresh nutty flavour: A good nut butter smells and tastes like the nut it is made from.
• Smooth or crunchy: Choose based on how you plan to eat it.
• Single-ingredient or flavoured: Decide whether you want the plain nut or added spices and flavours.
• Packaging: A sturdy, well-sealed jar keeps the spread protected.
• Pack sizes: Small jars are good for trying something new, and larger jars suit regular use.
• Storage instructions: Clear guidance on the pack tells you how to look after it.
• Added sugar, salt, or oil: Check the label so you know what the spread contains.

Smooth, Crunchy, and Flavoured Nut Butter Options

Smooth nut butter: Best for spreading, blending into smoothies, and stirring into batters.

Crunchy nut butter: Adds texture to toast, sandwiches, and bowls.

Nut butter with skin: Where the product page states it, with-skin varieties such as our almond and hazelnut butters have a bold, nutty flavour.

Without-skin varieties: These are usually chosen for a smoother finish.

Flavoured nut butters: Saffron and cardamom, thandai, and Byadgi chilli varieties suit desserts, beverages, snacks, and creative recipes.

How to Use Nut Butters in Everyday Recipes

• Toast and sandwiches: Spread peanut, almond, or cashew butter on fresh bread.
• Smoothies and shakes: Blend in a spoonful of smooth nut butter for a creamier texture.
• Oatmeal and breakfast bowls: Swirl nut butter into warm oats or top a bowl.
• Pancakes and waffles: Spread or drizzle a slightly warmed nut butter on top.
• Cookies and cakes: Use almond, peanut, or hazelnut butter in batters and doughs.
• Energy bites: Combine nut butter with oats, dates, and seeds.
• Dessert fillings and fruit dips: Pistachio paste and hazelnut butter work well in fillings, and
• almond or cashew butter pairs with apple or banana slices.
• Sauces and dressings: Peanut butter, including the Byadgi chilli variety, can add body to savoury sauces and dressings.
• Indian sweets and specialty desserts: Try cashew coconut butter with saffron and cardamom, or thandai nut butter, in traditional-style treats.

How to Store Nut Butters Properly

Follow the storage instructions printed on the packaging, as they can vary between products. In general, keep the jar tightly sealed after each use and protect it from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon every time.
