Okay so you might be thinking – WHAT IS NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER VS REGULAR PEANUT BUTTER? What is this nonsense?
However, hear me out. “Natural peanut butter” means that there is two ingredients…just peanuts and salt. While other conventional store brands like Jiff contain sugar, vegetable oil and soybeans. Completely unnecessary ingredients.
I usually grab local peanut butter from our farmers market made by the @thenutfarmtexas because it has super clean ingredients and THEY HAVE THE BEST FLAVORS (hello pistachio butter!). So I actually decided to sit down and chat with the creator of this brand, “Head Nut” Krystal Ludecke, to find out a little bit more about them. (Scroll down to find out how to grab some of your own peanut butter or win some in the giveaway).
BYOK: Who is the Nut Farm run by?
KL: The Nut Farm is a family affair! We just started making these nut butters out of my parents kitchen in October of 2021.
BYOK: What made you want to create a peanut butter brand?
KL: After suffering from fibromyalgia for years, I decided to try healing my body through a clean whole foods diet. During that journey my dad decided he wanted to experiment with making his own nut butters. I actually picked on him about it! Told him he was crazy to spend money on another toy (nut grinding machine)!
BUT THEN… I tasted his peanut butter and was obsessed. No preservatives and the texture was somewhere in between smooth and crunchy. It got me through the hardest part of my new lifestyle change. And I’m happy to say… my quality of life has drastically improved because of good clean food. Nature’s medicine
From there we made cashew butter, pistachio butter, pecan butter, honey peanut, honey almond.. and we are still experimenting! Then, as a family we decided to give the farmers market thing a try. And how appropriate, a family of nuts selling nut butters. Thus, The Nut Farm name was born
We have a texas nut supplier that sources all nuts from their native regions. And we use only local honey. Super simple stuff.
BYOK: What is your most popular flavor?
KL: Our most popular nut butter is pistachio! So good with a crisp red apple! Our honey peanut butter is also a favorite. I like eating mine straight out of the jar.
BYOK: Here’s my favorite question, favorite way to enjoy your peanut butter?
KL: Pecan butter on toast with a drizzle of honey. Girl…
Peanut butter on a hamburger! Yep, amazing. Try it!
