Our organic nut butters are CRAZY good!

Hello!

It’s official: Mealtime is now a breeze, thanks to Dr. Fuhrman’s new organic nut butters!

Our Organic Raw Sprouted Almond Butter and Organic Raw Cashew Butter are  single-ingredient beauties that are made in small batches, without SOS (salt, oil, sugar) or preservatives. This lets the natural flavor of the raw nuts shine through, whether you’re using them in sandwiches (and other portable meals) that the kids (and you) will enjoy, OR as the base for a healthy dressing or dip, OR wherever your imagination takes you.

The science says . . .

Research suggests that nuts and seeds are beneficial for longevity.¹ Both contain a wide spectrum of micronutrients including:

• Phytosterols that help lower LDL cholesterol
• Arginine – an amino acid that promotes circulation
• Minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, and selenium
• Antioxidants, including flavonoids, resveratrol, tocopherols (vitamin E), and carotenoids.

Studies have consistently shown that nut consumption is beneficial for heart health. Eating nuts regularly is linked to a healthy weight, lower cholesterol levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.^2-4 Studies in healthy people and those with type 2 diabetes showing that adding almonds to the diet improved blood glucose and insulin levels.^5-9

You’ll love the natural flavor of Dr. Fuhrman’s Organic Raw Sprouted Almond Butter and Organic Raw Cashew Butter – and your body will love the nutritional benefits.
