Nutritional Value of TSP

The typical serving size for any nut butter is 2 tablespoons, which many people are surprised to find out is more than they actually spread on a piece of bread. (If you are not certain what 2 tablespoons of soynut butter looks like, use actual level tablespoons next time.)

Isoflavone content will vary depending upon the manufacturer; some jars of soynut butter do not list actual amount, but say they are a good source of isoflavones. Several brands state they contain 30 to 40 of isoflavones in a 2 tablespoon serving.
