- You must roast the almond nuts thoroughly. Skipping this step will completely ruin your almond butter.
- Roasting the almonds makes it easier to grind, attain the creamy buttery state and helps the nut oil to ooze out faster.
- Roasted nuts always gives that nutty and delectable taste to the almond butter.
- Always scrape the sides of your blender jar in-between several grinds. This will lead to a uniformly ground nut butter.
