Frequently Asked Questions

What is the shelf life of their nut & seed butters?
Shelf life of their delicious nut & seed butters is 14-16 months from date of manufacture.

Should I refrigerate after opening a jar?
There is really no need to refrigerate. Their butters are shelf stable. In fact if you chill them too much they become hard to use as they will not spread easily.

Why do they blend Cashews into the Pecan, Walnut and Macadamia nut butters?
There are a few reasons they blend Cashews into these three highly acclaimed organic, raw nut butters. Cashews make the Walnut and Pecan butters more creamy and spreadable. Cashews also act as a natural sweetener to temper the natural bitterness of the Walnut and Pecan skins (which they leave in for the health benefit).

Do you soak their nuts before making your nut butters?
The short answer is no. Their raw nuts are not soaked prior to crafting them into our tasty, healthy, organic, raw nut butters. Soaking the nuts and seeds adds a lot of water (even after dehydrating) and definitely adds bacteria & moisture - reducing shelf life to just a few days.

What are different ways to use their nut & seed butters?
Great Question... You can spread on bread or toast instead of using peanut butter. But most of their customers enjoy them in a whole bunch of ways that can really improve the taste, texture and nutrition of many other foods.

Try some of these ideas.

• Spread on bread for a nut butter and jam sandwich
• Crumble coconut butter on top of popcorn
• Use cacao butter, coconut oil and coconut butter to make your own skin moisturizer
• Add a tablespoon to cereal as a morning energy boost
• Add a tablespoon to yogurt to achieve a wonderfully nutty, deeper flavor and greater texture
• Add to salad dressings or drizzle over salads
• Make great satay sauces
• Add to fruit shakes, ice cream shakes or make date/nut shakes
• Add to ice cream, make a sundae
• Add to brownies, cookies, cakes or pies (Pecan pie, walnut brownies, etc.)
• Make Almond, walnut, or cashew milk by adding to water and blending (We add water to the last bit of nut butter at the bottom of the jar, then add some other ingredients like agave, maybe some maca and then put the lid on and shake it. Then... (you guessed it) drink it up or take it somewhere to go.
