Organic is a USDA regulated term. For a complete, consumer-friendly explanation, visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In a nutshell, it means the product is grown and produced without pesticides or harmful chemicals. Our organic products are made with organic ingredients, which are listed on our labels. Our labels also bear the seal of a third party certification agency as well as the USDA's organic seal.

Natural' often is misrepresented in product labeling to imply 'healthful,' but 'natural' only means that the product has undergone minimal processing. Unlike products that are certified organic, natural products have no certification or inspection system. Also, 'natural' does not necessarily relate to growing methods or the use of preservatives.

Organic agriculture is based upon a systematic approach and standards that can be verified and are recognized internationally. Natural foods, on the other hand, have no legal definition or recognition, and are not based on a systematic approach. While natural products may generally be minimally processed, there are no requirements to provide proof, leaving open the possibility for fraud and misuse of the term.

The term "organic" can only be used on products that are grown and produced without pesticides, and other harmful chemicals. Products that host the USDA Organic Seal are produced under the high standards set forth by the US Dept. of Agriculture. There is no legal definition of what the term "natural" means. Natural foods can include organic foods, but not all natural foods are organic.

Organic” is a labeling term regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP) of which strictly prohibits the use of most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, sewage sludge fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, growth hormones, irradiation, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients.

The preference of natural, synthetic, or organic ingredients and the definition of each can be very confusing and controversial. We believe the real question should be: “Are your ingredients safe, effective, and free from harmful chemicals?” Our goal, in conjunction with our manufacturers, is therefore to provide safe, effective, high quality nutritional supplements that are free of any pesticide or herbicide residuals.

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.

During the grinding process for all of our products (and for most any commercially made nut butter), heat is generated by the friction of the nuts inside the grinder. We do not specifically monitor this temperature, but we know it is higher than the threshold set by anyone following a strict raw eating plan that calls for only heating foods at very low temperatures.

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.

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.

No. Synthetic vitamins are identical in chemical structure to those found in food. A difference between natural and synthetic vitamins has not been demonstrated for any vitamins, except vitamin E. The form of vitamin E derived from "natural" products is more biologically active than its synthetic form. However, both commercially available types usually contain identical amounts in biological activity.

Nut butter refers to nuts that may or may not be toasted before being ground into a smooth, creamy spread such as almond or peanut butter. 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. Some Europeans made this type of paste with raw pistachios. Apricot kernels may also be made into a paste of this type.

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.
