1. Why is Almondie superior to raw almonds?

• Our almond butter is produced from almonds which have had their thin inner peels removed during our manufacturing process. Almond peels contain tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which may contribute to indigestion. This process makes Almondie more digestible than raw almonds.
•  
• If consumed whole, the nutrients from almonds are not completely absorbed into the bloodstream. Almondie Almond Butter is produced from ground almonds. The grinding process breaks down the cellular structure of the almonds and exposes all of the nutrients that comprise almonds to the digestive system.

2. How many almonds are contained in one tablespoon of Almondie Almond Butter?

There are approximately 6 almonds in a tablespoon.



3. Why peel our almonds?

At Almondie, we remove the thin inner peels of our almonds in order to increase the digestibility of our almond butter. The thin inner peels of almonds contain tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, both of which hinder the digestive system. Almondie’s goal is to manufacture a product which will be suitable for anyone, including those suffering from digestive issues and other medical conditions.



4. What is the nutritional value of Almondie Almond Butter?

Almondie is packed with powerful nutrients that promote good health. When you ingest Almondie, your body is receiving much more than a tasty peanut butter substitute or a refreshing beverage. Almondie is rich in many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, including protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, riboflavin, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin E.

Protein is necessary for growing, maintaining, and repairing cells and body tissue. Almondie's protein is vegetable-derived and therefore does not adversely affect your cholesterol levels or aggravate potential cardiovascular problems. In fact, various studies have indicated that eating almonds may have a beneficial effect on your cardiovascular system and cholesterol.

Sufficient calcium intake is essential for maintaining bone density, thus preventing osteoporosis. Almondie's calcium is vegetable-derived and completely absorbed in your body. Calcium also has a natural antacid effect which both prevents and treats acid indigestion. Calcium is essential for blood clotting, muscle contracting, and building and strengthening bones and teeth.

Magnesium facilitates muscle relaxation and nerve transmission as well as producing energy.

Potassium is necessary for many cellular functions. It is also critical for your heart to function properly.

Iron transports oxygen to the cells in the body. It is essential for healthy red blood cells. Adequate iron intake prevents anemia due to iron deficiency.

Zinc is important for the functionality of your immune system, healing wounds, growth and development, and sperm production.

Copper helps the body release energy and facilitates the formation of collagen, which is the body's connective tissue.

Riboflavin facilitates tissue growth and repair. Riboflavin also promotes normal vision and healthy skin.

Vitamin E prevents damage to cell membranes promotes fertility.

Almondie helps to fulfill your USDA daily recommendation for many vitamins and minerals. All of these nutrients are easily absorbed and used by the body.

The non-dairy, non-animal protein in Almondie is particularly suitable to vegetarians as well as other healthy adults who wish to limit their intake of cholesterol.

Those allergic to peanuts can enjoy Almondie as a peanut butter substitute.

6. As a nursing mother, why should I choose Almondie Almond Butter over any other almond butter on the market?

Adding Almondie Almond Butter to your daily diet can have the following positive effects on your body:

• It eases your digestive system and eliminates digestive acids from breast milk, minimizing the following digestive issues in your nursing child:
  • Colic
  • General discomfort
  • Constipation

Almondie only uses almonds that have had their thin inner peels removed during our production process. After our almonds have been peeled, they are immediately ground using a unique cold press process exclusive to EdenNuts products. Thus, Almondie Almond Butter is completely raw and retains all of the nutritional properties of our original sustainably-grown almonds.

This whole process boosts the digestibility of Almondie Almond Butter for the following reasons:

• The almond peel is full with tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors, both of which may contribute to indigestion
• The grinding process eases the process of distributing the almonds’ nutrients throughout the body.

Almondie Almond Butter also contains a large amount of calcium and other minerals and vitamins that are essential for your child’s development.

7. Are you Kosher?

Yes. All EdenNuts Nut Butters are under the supervision of the Badatz Eida Chareidis in Jerusalem, one of the strictest koshrus agencies in the world. All of EdenNuts Nut Butters ingredients are Kosher-Pareve.

8. What is the shelf life of Almondie Almond butter?

After opening Almondie Almond Butter, be sure to store it in a cool dry place, or in the refrigerator. The shelf life is around 1 year. After a while, the almond butter may become hard and the natural oil may separate and float to the top. This is perfectly normal. To reincorporate the natural almond oils into the almond butter, simply mix it manually or with a hand mixer.

9. I was expecting a product similar to peanut butter, just made with almonds. Why is my jar of Almondie so creamy?

Almondie is an almond butter with an especially creamy texture and delicious taste. Almondie is one product with a dual purpose. Principally, it’s an almond butter, but it can also be used as an almond milk concentrate when combined with water. You expected to receive a product with the firm texture you associate with peanut butter. Instead, your jar of Almondie was creamy and runny. Emulsifiers are the chemical ingredients that give peanut butter a firm consistency by combining the natural peanut oils with the ground peanuts. Our dedication to pure and raw ingredients means a creamier, purer texture without any preservative, additives or sugars added.

Please note, sometimes the natural almond oil separates from the butter solids. Simply mix the butter thoroughly until you reach the right consistency.

10. Are the almonds in Almondie 100% NON-GMO certified?

Yes! The almonds we use are 100% NON-GMO certified. Our Almondie almond butter is truly RAW! The almonds in Almondie are not steamed or heat treated in any way! It is made from CA almonds that are sold to our company totally RAW! Attached, you will find a letter from Hilltop Ranch Inc. confirming that all Almondie almonds are indeed 100% raw and unpasteurized. Since our almonds are immediately shipped out of California, they are not subject to the mandatory pasteurization statute.
