Short answer: the three have almost the same calories. Peanut butter has the most protein and costs the least, almond butter has the mildest, most rounded flavor, and cashew butter is the creamiest and works best in desserts. There is no single "healthiest" one — pick by what you will use it for.

Calories are practically identical — 645–655 kcal per 100 g — because all three are mostly fat. The real differences are protein (26.8 g in peanut, 21 g in almond, 17 g in cashew), saturated fat (the coconut in the cashew butter adds some) and price. You can compare all five GULIANI flavors in one table on the comparison page or calculate your own portion in the nutrition calculator.
Taste and texture
Peanut — the most intense, roasted and slightly salty flavor; thick and dense. The familiar "classic" taste. Peanut Butter Classic is just roasted peanuts and Himalayan salt.
Almond — milder, slightly sweet and nutty, with a fine grainy texture. Pairs well with fruit and cinnamon. Almond Butter is made from roasted organic almonds.
Cashew — the softest and creamiest, naturally sweet. Cashew Butter with Coconut adds coconut flakes, which make it taste almost like a dessert on its own.
Which one for what
- More protein, everyday use, best value — peanut. See how much protein is in peanut butter.
- Breakfast toast and fruit — almond, e.g. apple cinnamon toast.
- Desserts, smoothies, creamy sauces — cashew, e.g. banana nice cream or chia pudding.
- Savory sauces and Georgian dishes — peanut, e.g. eggplant rolls with peanut-garlic filling.
Allergies
Peanut is botanically a legume; almonds and cashews are tree nuts. An allergy to one does not automatically mean an allergy to the others — and it does not rule it out either. If you or your child has any food allergy, ask a doctor before trying a new nut. For children, see at what age children can have nut butter.
Quick answers
Which is the healthiest? None stands out overall: nutrition is close, and the difference comes from how much you eat and what you eat it with.
Which is best when losing weight? Any of them, in a measured portion — calories are almost the same. More in can you eat peanut butter while losing weight.
Can I swap one for another in a recipe? Yes, 1:1. The recipe works the same way; the taste changes and the texture a little (cashew is creamier, almond slightly grainier).
