Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Nature's Basket Organic Plant-Based Buttery Sticks scores 52/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g protein. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Nature's Basket Organic Plant-Based Buttery Sticks lists 10 ingredients, starting with Expeller Pressed Organic Oil Blend, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Organic Palm Fruit Oil and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

80 kcal per serving, or 571 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Nature's Basket Organic Plant-Based Buttery Sticks on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 52/100 Nature's Basket Organic Plant-Based Buttery Sticks lands mid-scale — below the typical score in dairy-alternative butter & cream, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative butter & cream is Forager Project Organic Cinnamon Vanilla Creamer at 100/100.
