Legume, Nut and Seed Butters

[Amy SF]

Do you have any favorites? Which have you tried, which would you like to try? Have you ever made any from scratch?

I LOVE peanut butter. I like almond and cashew butters, but I adore peanut butter. And while I can eat pretty much any peanut butter, my ideal is organic roasted peanuts with salt in a glass jar. (I hate to buy peanut butter in plastic jars.)

Peanut for me. Almond I use in cooking. My favorite peanut butter is Teddie Bear crunchy in the glass jar

Peanut butter, rather boring I know. I love the organic Whole Earth PB.

I love peanut butter. And cashew butter. I will use almond on occasion but it's my least favorite.

When my husband was working full time I splurged on a cashew/macadamia blend. That stuff was good. And expensive!

Cashew is my absolute favourite followed by almond nut butter.

I was about to say that I don't think I have ever seen soynut butter, but then I realised that I have!

I have peanut or almond butter on oat cakes, rice cakes or corn thins for elevenses pretty much every day at work.

I'd probably like them all, but I've only had peanut and sesame (tahini). So I picked "other".

Tahini hands down. Then peanut butter, then almond butter, then sunflower butter. Strangely I have never tried cashew butter or soynut butter. I have made my own homemade peanut butter and also almond butter and sesame butter with my awesome blendtec. I tried to make my own sunflower butter but the consistency was wrong.

I should try tahini again. I like sesame seeds but I had tahini years ago and didn't like it. Whenever I make a recipe that calls for it, I always leave it out. I think I need to give it another chance.

I'm not a big bag of tahini.

 

[Moll Flanders]

^ Lol. Big bag.

I think tahini tastes horrible.

Peanut butter, the kind you have to stir up, preferably chunky, preferably Teddie Bear brand

 

[Calliegirl]

I love peanut butter, but can't eat it so I have to say it's almond butter. I sometimes eat soynut butter too but not as often. I only use cashew butter in recipes, same for tahini. Tahini sauce for dipping falafel or pita sandwiches is delicious.

One of these days (when I get a candy thermometer) I'm going to make some halvah with the tahini. I love halvah, especially when it's covered in chocolate.

I love peanut butter! It's excellent for everything. Spreads, dinner and guess even desserts.

 

[Amy SF]

Tahini is more of a dip or sauce than a butter. I think I've seen actual sesame butter in the HFS a while ago.

 

[Naturebound1]

I must be the odd one out then, as I can eat tahini straight out of the jar. HOWEVER, it does make me gassy for hours after. I rarely buy it because I can't leave it alone.

 

[Spang]

I buy peanut butter like a mother with five kids.

I eat a lot of it.
