New Euromonitor food research finds that Nut and seed butters remain seriously underrated

Oct. 20, 2009 - PRLog -- Healthy nut and seed butters suffer from a lack of large player involvement. Euromonitor International argues that the time has now come for these tasty nutritional bombshells to claim their rightful place on the breakfast table.

In the 1980s, when fat phobia came to the fore, nut butters were branded as the antichrist, and peanut butter was more or less the only type widely available. Thanks to the rising recognition of the importance of unsaturated fats in the diet, which nut and seed butters provide aplenty, and the ever more popular “superfoods” concept, the tide is slowly turning.
