Serving size, prep, and portion notes for almond butter

Almond butter is simply almonds ground into a concentrated paste, so every trigger in the nut is concentrated with it. It is high in oxalate, high in nickel and high in salicylates, and a single tablespoon packs far more almonds than most people would eat whole. That makes it a common hidden trigger for anyone managing kidney-stone oxalate, systemic nickel allergy or salicylate sensitivity, even though it reads like a clean whole food on the label.

Watch for

High in oxalate, and because it is concentrated, a normal spread portion delivers a large oxalate dose, which matters if you are prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones / High in nickel, one of the most nickel-rich everyday foods and a trigger for systemic nickel allergy (dermatitis and pompholyx) / High in salicylates, worth watching if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods / Moderate FODMAP from fructans and GOS, so a heavy portion can bother a sensitive gut
