The Benefits of Choosing Organic and Natural Nut Butters

Nut butters have come along way from the classic peanut butter spread we ate growing up, when it comes to nut butters, the world is more diverse, delicious, and-in some cases, a lot healthier too. Whether you're a gym junkie, a wellness enthusiast, or just someone trying to be smart with your snacking options, going with organic and natural nut butters can be impactful on both your health and your plate! You may be asking, what makes a nut butter "natural" or "organic", and - does it matter? Let's find out!

What Makes Nut Butters ‘Natural’ and ‘Organic’?

You may have seen natural and organic on nut butter labels and thought-aren't they the same? In short, not really.

Let's get into it:

-Natural Nut Butters

These are nut butters made with minimal, real ingredients. Usually, it's just the nuts (and maybe some salt) - that's it. No added sugars, no funky preservatives, no oil. Natural nut butters are as close to nature as possible: simple ingredients, no added nonsense.
If the ingredient list looks like something you could find in your own kitchen, you're probably on the right track.

-Organic Nut Butters

Organic nut butters go one step further: not only do organic nut butters have real and clean ingredients, but this nut butter is also made with nuts that are grown with no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or GMOs. Everything is grown and made using environmentally friendly and sustainable practices. Organic nut butters also have strict organic regulations to be certified as "Organic".

In summary:

Natural = Clean label, few ingredients
Organic = Clean label + clean farming + better for the planet

So both offer you better options than conventional processed spreads, but organic offers a little more assurance - for your health and the health of the environment.

5 Core Benefits of Choosing Natural & Organic Nut Butter

So Why should you invest in natural or organic nut butters instead of regular brands? In addition to its smooth and creamy taste (which can be addictive), nut butters offer legitimate benefits for your body. Here are 5 reasons to keep some natural or organic nut butters in your pantry:

1. Packed with Plant Protein & Fiber for Everyday Energy

Feeling wiped in the middle of the morning or late afternoon? The good news is that natural and organic nut butters are small nutrition powerhouses loaded with plant-based protein and fiber - two ingredients that can help to keep you full, focused, and fuelled.

2. Healthy Fats That Love Your Heart

Ok, let's put to rest the idea that that fat is bad...at least not the type of fat in nut butters. Nut butters also contain healthy heart-fat including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which help lower bad cholesterol and reduce inflammation.
In simple words? Your heart will thank you.

3. Natural Vitamins & Minerals for Immunity and Glow

Nut butters aren’t just tasty - they’re secretly nutrient-rich. Nut butters have vitamin E for glowing skin, magnesium for sleep and muscle gnar, and zinc to boost immunity.Basically, it’s skincare and self-care, on a spoon.

4. Zero Nasties: No Refined Sugar, Hydrogenated Oils, or Preservatives

The best part? What’s not inside.  
Natural and organic nut butters don't have the nastiness inside like other commercial nut and seed spreads that have:  
Refined sugars
Hydrogenated (trans) fats
Artificial preservatives and flavors

So now, you get to experience the real taste of the nut and nothing else.  A clean label is clean fuel.  

5. Fits Every Diet: Vegan, Keto, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

If you are following a plant based diet, keto, gluten-free or dairy-free, nut and nut based butters are in no way a restricted food.  They mould perfectly into whatever food mood you're in when it comes to eating.  

In summary - Not only do natural and organic nut butters taste better but they do better for you and your body.
