For a great start to your day, why not try mixing a spoonful of almond butter into overnight oats or your morning porridge?

Sometimes the nuts naturally have more oil and sometimes they have less, making it hard for us to produce batches of nut butters which have exactly the same consistency. Occasionally some batches may be runnier or harder. This is the nature of producing a product with no added ingredients such as palm oil.Unsaturated fats and omega-3 fats are considered to be better for our health and they can help to reduce blood cholesterol. Unsaturated fats are found generally in plant foods such as seeds/grains, nuts, vegetables and fruit. They can be either polyunsaturated, found in sunflower, soya, corn, and sesame oils or monounsaturated like olive and rapeseed oils. We don’t use palm oil – at Meridian we pride ourselves on our pledge never to use palm oil in any of our products. We have cultivated strong links with a charity called International Animal Rescue and our partnership is very important, contributing to the welfare of the Orangutans and the overall success of crucial projects. We don’t add anything to our roasted nuts to make our peanut or almond butter – just 100% nuts. There is definitely no Xylitol in our nut butters.
