Almond Butter Measuring FAQs
Why does natural almond butter separate in the pantry? ▾
Pure ground almonds lack emulsifiers, allowing natural monounsaturated oils to rise to the top over time.
How do you keep almond butter from drying out at the bottom? ▾
Store the jar upside down when new, stir completely, and store in the refrigerator to prevent oil separation.
