What it is
Pistachio butter is a spread made from ground pistachios. It is produced by roasting pistachios and then grinding them until they form a smooth paste. It has a rich, nutty flavor and a creamy texture.
Why it's used
Pistachio butter is used to add a distinct pistachio flavor and creamy texture to various foods. Manufacturers use it in ice cream, baked goods like cookies and cakes, and as a spread. It can also be found in sauces and dips.
Health notes
Pistachio butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pistachios and their components, but specific evaluations for pistachio butter as a distinct ingredient are not widely published. At typical consumption levels, it contributes to a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Pistachios are tree nuts, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Pistachio butter is therefore considered a major allergen.
