How long does homemade pistachio butter last?

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, homemade pistachio butter can last up to 3 weeks. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination and stir if oils separate.

Can I make pistachio butter without a food processor?

Yes, but it's more effort. A high-speed blender can work, though it may require breaks to prevent overheating. Mortar and pestle are too labor-intensive for smooth butter but okay for coarse versions.

Is pistachio butter healthier than peanut butter?

Both are healthy, but pistachio butter offers more potassium, vitamin B6, and antioxidants. It’s slightly lower in fat than peanut butter and contains more fiber per serving.

Do I need to roast the pistachios first?

Roasting enhances flavor and helps release oils for a creamier result. If using raw pistachios, consider lightly toasting them in the oven before blending for best texture and taste.
