Do I really need to refrigerate MaraNatha nut butters?

Maranatha Nut Butters - Maranatha Nut Butters Frequently Ask...
It's generally best to refrigerate our nut butters. Because they do not contain any preservatives or stabilizers, they can become rancid if left out of refrigeration for an extended period of time and/or exposed to warm temperatures. Unless you have purchased one of our No Stir items, remember to stir your nut butter before you put it in the fridge. Otherwise you'll have a bit of a challenge on your hands.

what temperature are your raw nut butters produced?

My child is extremely allergic to peanuts. Are your nut butters free from peanuts?

Living Tree Community Foods
We do not sell peanuts. We do not make peanut butter. There are no peanuts on our premises. This is for a number of reasons:- First, peanuts are not a nut, they are a legume. Like all beans, they should be soaked overnight and then thoroughly cooked. Roasting an uncooked bean and then grinding it into peanut butter produces something that is indigestible. Also, unless carefully stored, excess moisture can cause the growth of aflatoxin, a mold to which peanuts are especially susceptible.

I notice your nut butters are kosher certified. What does that mean?

Living Tree Community Foods
In the case of a nut butter, olives or olive oil, kosher certification means that a Rabbi or an observant Jew has supervised our production process to make sure that our products do not contain animal products. That is, no animal fat, meat or dairy is used. In the case of our roasted almond butter, for example, the oven is checked to make sure it is not being used to roast meat. The trays on which the almonds are placed are checked to make sure they have not been greased with animal fat.

Nut paste usually refers to ground nuts that have been blended with a quantity of sugar. Nut Pastes may be made from raw nuts that are cooked with sugar, such as for almond paste and marzipan.

Why is there saturated fat in your nut butters? Isn't saturated fat bad?

Maranatha Nut Butters - Maranatha Nut Butters Frequently Ask...
All oils and fats contain some amount of saturated fat, even the healthy ones. For instance, extra virgin olive oil, well known as a heart-healthy oil, contains 2 grams per serving. Like olive oil, the oil content of nuts is primarily heart healthy monounsaturated fat, along with a smaller percentage of saturates and polyunsaturates. The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of total daily calories.
