When most people think of spreads, they usually think of peanut butter, almond butter or hazelnut spread. But the world of plant-based ingredients is full of hidden gems, and apricot kernels are one of them.
With a naturally mild flavour, smooth texture and impressive nutritional profile, Apricot Kernel Butter is a unique addition to the Sun & Seed range.
Made from carefully selected apricot kernels and gently stone-ground, our butter offers a creamy, naturally delicious alternative for anyone looking to explore new flavours in their everyday meals.
From breakfast toast to smoothies, desserts and homemade snacks, apricot kernel butter is a versatile ingredient that brings something different to the kitchen.
What Are Apricot Kernels?
Apricot kernels are the seeds found inside the stone of apricots. Although they come from the same fruit family as almonds, they have their own distinctive characteristics.
They have a naturally delicate, slightly sweet and subtly nutty flavour, making them a wonderful ingredient for spreads, baking and desserts.
Unlike stronger-flavoured nut butters, apricot kernel butter has a gentle taste that allows other ingredients to shine.
It pairs beautifully with:
- Fresh fruit
- Dark chocolate
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla
- Berries
- Cacao
How Is Sun & Seed Apricot Kernel Butter Made?
At Sun & Seed, we believe that good food starts with good ingredients and careful preparation.
Our apricot kernels are selected for their quality before being transformed into a smooth butter using our traditional stone-grinding process.
Stone grinding uses gentle temperatures and slow grinding to create a naturally creamy texture while respecting the ingredient.
We do not add:
- Refined sugar
- Palm oil
- Artificial flavours
- Preservatives
- Unnecessary additives
The result is a simple spread made from one ingredient:
100% organic apricot kernels.
The Nutritional Profile of Apricot Kernel Butter
Apricot kernels naturally contain a variety of nutrients, making this butter more than just a delicious spread.
A source of plant-based nutrition
Apricot kernels contain naturally occurring protein, healthy fats, fibre and minerals.
The combination of these nutrients makes apricot kernel butter a satisfying addition to balanced meals and snacks.
Naturally rich in healthy fats
Like many seeds and kernels, apricot kernels contain naturally occurring unsaturated fats.
Healthy fats are an important part of a balanced diet and help provide energy while contributing to the enjoyment and texture of foods.
The creamy texture of apricot kernel butter comes naturally from these oils, without the need for added fats.
A source of fibre
Because we use the whole kernel, our apricot kernel butter retains naturally occurring fibre.
Fibre contributes to normal digestive function and helps create satisfying meals when combined with other wholesome ingredients.
