At Betsy’s Best we do have a sweet tooth and love our nut and seed butters with a hint of sweetness. However our creator Betsy, being a dietitian, wouldn’t allow a sugar laden butter to cross her lips. For a 2 T serving our nut and seed butters have 3 g sugar, way below many of the products you see above. Betsy’s Best sweetness also comes from natural sugars such as honey and demerara (an unprocessed form of sugar with minerals intact). We add an organic stevia leaf without any fillers to heighten the sweetness without the extra sugar grams or calories. So you can be a Betsy’s Best lover without the guilt!
