WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

- Rich in monounsaturated fats (heart-friendly, supportive of ketosis)
- Higher micronutrient density than many nut spreads (vitamin E, magnesium)
- Fat–fiber synergy promotes satiety and steadier energy
- Naturally low sugar with clean labels; great as a spread or recipe base

- May support stable blood sugar thanks to fat, fiber, and protein
- Healthy fats can aid cognitive performance and sustained energy
