What it is

Pili butter is a creamy spread made from pili nuts, which grow on the pili tree (Canarium ovatum) native to the Philippines. The nuts are typically roasted and then ground into a smooth, rich butter, often with minimal added ingredients.

Why it's used

Pili butter is used as a dairy-free alternative to traditional butter or nut butters in various food products. Manufacturers add it to provide a rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture, often found in yogurts, baked goods, and spreads.

Health notes

Pili butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats and nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar nut products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Pili nuts are tree nuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, pili butter is considered a tree nut product.
