The Number That Stands Out: 70mg Calcium
Calcium is the most important mineral for bone health, and Pakistan has a significant problem with calcium deficiency — particularly among women, children, and the elderly.
Zak’s Yard Almond Butter contains 70mg of calcium per serving. The peanut butter range contains 10 to 20mg. That is a three to seven times difference. Almonds are one of the richest plant-based sources of calcium available, and almond butter concentrates that calcium into a convenient, delicious form.
For people who do not consume dairy regularly — whether due to lactose intolerance, preference, or cost — almond butter is one of the most practical calcium sources in Pakistan.
Vitamin E: The Antioxidant Advantage
Almonds are the highest natural food source of Vitamin E per gram of any whole food. This translates directly into almond butter: Zak’s Yard Almond Butter contains significantly more Vitamin E per serving than any of the peanut butter varieties.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that supports immune function, skin health, eye health, and cardiovascular protection. It is particularly important for reducing oxidative stress — a factor in aging, inflammation, and chronic disease.
Creamy vs Crunchy — Which Should You Choose?
- Almond Butter Creamy : Same nutrition, smoother texture. Better for spreading, smoothies, sauces, and dressings. The milder flavour blends well with fruit, honey, and other ingredients.
- Almond Butter Crunchy : Small pieces of almond throughout the butter. More texture, slightly more satisfying to eat on its own. Better for roti, toast, and anyone who enjoys the crunch of whole almonds.
- Both varieties have identical nutrition labels — 170 calories, 7g protein, 14g fat, 4g total sugar, 70mg calcium. The choice is purely texture preference.
