Butter

Paradise-nut butter is ground Lecythis kernel, a creamy rare Amazonian spread when someone bothers to shell and grind these forest seeds. Flavour is rich and Brazil-nut-adjacent without being the same commodity. A good butter is clean and freshly ground. A bad butter is oxidised. Spread thinly; scarcity forbids casual scooping. Keep cold. Label as tree nut.
