Melrose Almond nut spread

Melrose Almond spread allows you to enjoy the delicately flavoured and versatile almond throughout the year. Melrose Almond Spread makes a healthy and tasty addition to both sweet and savory dishes.

Almonds are the most alkaline of all nuts, which alone is a major benefit. Taken regularly, one handful of almonds per day is an optimum way to ensure proper nerve functioning, nerve transmission and correct muscular and glandular activity.

Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same type of health-promoting fats found in Olive Oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease. In addition to their cholesterol-lowering effects, almonds' ability to reduce heart disease risk may also be partly due to the antioxidant action of the Vitamin E found in the almonds.

Almonds are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium and potassium. Magnesium works with calcium to support healthy muscles and bones in the body. Potassium is an important mineral that is essential for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. Almonds promote your cardiovascular health by providing high levels of potassium and only low levels of sodium.

Hints and tips

Why is there oil in the top of the jar?

Melrose nut spreads are made from 100% lightly roasted nuts. Unlike most peanut butters the natural oils in Melrose nut spreads are not subjected to hydrogenation. In normal spreads this hydrogenation turns liquid oils into solids so that they will not separate out. However hydrogenation also produces Trans fatty acids and these have negative health effects.

• Melrose nut spreads contain only natural oils.
• Melrose Nut spreads contain no hydrogenated Oils.
• Melrose nut spreads contain no Trans fats.

When using Melrose nut spreads, simply stir in the natural oils. Do not pour off the oil as this will leave you with a dry spread.
