things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of almond butter?
  About 17 g for a level tablespoon. Almond butter clings to the spoon, so a heaping tablespoon — the way most people actually scoop it onto toast — runs closer to 22-25 g. Smoothies and overnight oats usually call for 1-2 tablespoons; if you're tracking macros, level the spoon against the jar's rim or weigh it directly into the bowl.
• How much almond butter is in a typical single-serve packet?
  Squeeze packets from brands like Justin's and Barney Butter run 32 g, which is two tablespoons. If a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon, use half a packet. For an energy ball or dressing recipe specifying 2 tablespoons, one full packet (32 g) lands you within a gram of the target without dirtying a measuring spoon.
• Why do salad dressings spec almond butter in tablespoons?
  Asian-inspired dressings — sesame-almond, satay, peanut-style sauces using almond butter — usually want 1-3 tablespoons whisked into rice vinegar, soy, and citrus. At that scale, 17 g per tablespoon is precise enough; weighing 51 g for 3 tablespoons is overkill when you're already eyeballing the lime juice. Tablespoons are the practical unit for whisked sauces.
