Drum roll please!!! Ok, so we were cooking up some nut butters over here in the nut shop and were making some progress, but things got a little messy, so we decided to instead search for a really great outside source for nut butters. We settled on a really great worker owned co-operative that makes wonderful nut butters and are proud to offer the following (so far):

Organic Peanut Butter (Crunchy, Unsalted)

Almond Butter (Roasted, Smooth)

Organic Almond Butter (Raw, Smooth)

Organic Cashew Butter (Roasted, Smooth)

As you might know by now, we’ve been making a conscious effort to expand our organic offering. One driver of this stems from an environmental concern, and another driver is from a health concern. In the process of exploring a larger organic offering and through the help of customer suggestions, we’ve begun to source some interesting and exotic products, that also happened to be labeled as superfoods. There’s certainly a lot of hype around superfoods, but we’re a lot more about substance, and we will selectively offer products that seem to genuinely enhance not just your health, but also your eating experience. Starting with Oprah’s #1 superfood, Acai Powder , here’s some more of our excitingly exotic offering:

Organic Acai Powder

Gooseberries

Organic Cacao Nibs

Organic Cacao Powder

Organic Purple Corn Kernels

Organic Wild Jungle Peanuts

Largueta Almonds

Raw Marcona Almonds

Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds (Sugar Free)

Yippee! Yeah, I know, I’m totally lame getting so excited for Organic Peanuts, but we’ve been hunting these down for a while. We’ve been buying peanuts directly from down South for literally 79 years, but have had no luck sourcing organic…that is, until NOW!!! From saving Jericho on CBS to feeding Devils’ fans at the new Prudential Center in New Jersey, we don’t mess around when it comes to peanuts. So, we couldn’t just start with 1 type of organic peanut. No way! Here are 6 types of organic peanuts, with more on the way!!!

Our roasted cashews are fantastic and us nuts can’t help from snacking on them. My dad is the worst culprit in this department. We decided to spice things up though and start dry roasting cashews as well. Uhoh! What’s that dad? I can’t hear you with your mouth full of our new dry roasted cashews. Check ‘em out, both salted and unsalted.

A study published in this month’s American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming only two Brazil nuts every day can raise blood selenium levels by about 65 per cent.
Selenium is understood to boost the body’s antioxidant immune system and may deliver health benefits including reduced risk of some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease and promotion of normal liver function.

In 2003 the FDA issued a qualified health claim on selenium, which states: “Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.”

Yay Brazil Nuts!

Madness! Goji berries have been wildly popular because of their immunity boosting capabilities. We thought we would up the ante and offer dark chocolate covered goji berries. But wait! Not just any dark chocolate. Supreme dark chocolate - 72% cocoa. Oh my!
