Nut Butters & Food Allergies

Typical questions from patients with food allergies are What can I eat? and What are healthy substitutes of my food allergen? Peanut allergy is a common allergy, and luckily, the options are broadening. Health markets and sections of grocery stores are dedicated to foods for those with intolerances and allergies. Nutrition411.com has a very comprehensive, yet easy to understand chart on their website of nutrition facts of peanut butter and other nut butters, which I have copied below for your convenience. Calories and protein in each of the nut butters are comparable and are all a good source of protein.
