If you want a delicious low glycemic snack, we have one to recommend that is packed with flavor and health benefits: organic almond butter.
The glycemic index (GI) is something of particular interest to diabetics and dieters, but it’s important for anyone who wants to attain ultimate health and lasting energy.
For those not entirely sure what the GI scale of 0 to 100 means, this index ranks carbohydrate-containing foods. Since not all carbohydrates are created equally, the GI indicates how the body absorbs a carbohydrate and what impact there is on blood sugar.
Skeptical? This isn’t some new-fangled fad. The GI has been around for nearly three decades and is used by medical researchers to investigate the relationship between the human body and carbohydrates.
What you need to know is that a higher number means that food is digested quickly and will cause more extreme fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Lower numbers are better as this means slower digestion and very gradual changes in blood sugar.
When you check the GI ranking for organic almond butter ,you won’t believe that it has a ranking of 0. That’s right: Zero. Nada. Zilch. Almonds do not impact blood sugar levels at all.
Not only is our organic almond butter sugar free, but it is gluten, vegan, soy, and dairy free. Even better, it is scrumptious! We use fresh organic California almonds purchased right from growers.

Our smooth and creamy almond butter contains organic flax seed and organic hemp seed, but no salt or additives.
