How does it compare to other plant butters?
Food Additives, Soybeans, Nuts, and Seeds! Oh My!
- Mainstream plant based butter brands use either soy lecithin (soybean) or sunflower lecithin (sunflower seed) as a food additive to emulsify their plant based butter. Soybean and seeds are not AIP compliant.
- Some brands have recently started to use nuts to make a plant based butter. Nuts are not AIP compliant.
- Soybeans and some nuts and seeds are high in gut-irritating “toxic lectins”. Some proponents of lectin-free diets claim that lectins can cause symptoms of auto-immune disorders. https://www.webmd.com/diet/foods-high-in-lectins
