Organic Almond Butter (Almond Paste) from Soyana, raw food quality  Urs Hochstrasser, a Swiss raw food pioneer, helped develop this white organic almond purée and has been using it in his gourmet raw food cuisine for over 20 years. Almond purée is sometimes also referred to as almond butter. Characteristics of Soyana Organic Almond Puree White almond butters are usually made from blanched almonds. The brown skin of the almond can be removed more easily using hot steam or by briefly boiling them in simmering water. In contrast, Soyana almond purée is one of the few products of raw food quality and is never heated above 40°C during production. To ensure the almonds can still be peeled easily, they are soaked in water. Only carefully selected Sicilian organic almonds are used in its production. You can find out why this raw almond purée is a blessing for us all in the YouTube video from ‘Welt der Gesundheit’ featuring Urs Hochstrasser, dated 21 July 2022. Why eat almond butter? Almond purée is highly nutritious, has a delicious almond flavour and a slightly sweet note. Thanks to its creamy consistency, it’s not only ideal for smoothies but can also be enjoyed on its own as a snack. Almond butter contains lecithin (even more than eggs) and helps to emulsify (mix) fats and water. This is very important for achieving the light, airy texture of smoothies and sauces (including vegan mayonnaise).  Recommendations for use Almond purée is suitable in vegan cooking as a substitute for dairy products in milkshakes, smoothies and soups eggs in sauces, creams and desserts of all kinds (e.g. with carob powder). as well as for spreads. Tip 1: Mix 3 tablespoonsof almond puréewith 5dl of water to make a nutritious almond milk in no time at all. If you like it sweet, apple syrup, agave syrup and yacon syrup, as well as carob powder, are all suitable for sweetening. Tip 2: Vegan Sauce Royale by Urs Hochstrasser. Place 2–3 tablespoons of almond purée, the juice of one lemon and one orange, and 1 dl of water into an open blender. Then, whilst the blender is running, slowly pour in 2.5dl of apricot kernel oil and, from time to time, 1dl of water. You can experiment with the amounts of oil and water. The more oil you use, the thicker the consistency will be. Finally, season to taste. The sauce royale can be stored in the fridge for 1 week.
