Products

+ What are bliss balls?

Bliss balls are vegan, gluten-free confections made with ingredients such as cashews, chocolate, coconut, and hemp! They taste delectably rich yet refreshing as they are naturally sweetened with dates and brown rice syrup.

+ Why does the oil separate on top of your nut butters?

Oil separation occurs naturally because we make our nut butters as nature intended - with no hydrogenated oils or preservatives. Simply stir before enjoying. You can also store the jar on its side to make it easier to stir.

+ Why does your coconut peanut spread solidify sometimes?

Our coconut peanut spread contains extra virgin coconut oil, which naturally solidifies at cooler temperatures and melts at higher temperatures.

+ Do your nut butters need to be refrigerated?

Because our nut butters are natural without any preservatives or hydrogenated oils, refrigeration is ideal for extending the product lifespan.

+ Do you use palm oil in your products?

No, we do not believe in using palm oil.

+ How do you make your seed butters?

Simply put, we grind them. We use a special low heat grinding process to best retain the nutrients and natural flavor of each seed. We lightly dry roast the seeds to release their natural oils. The natural oil then acts as an emulsifier so nothing extra needs to be added. The result is a deliciously clean and richly flavored seed butter - yum! We also grind seeds raw, which means that these seeds never come into contact with any heat during the grinding process. Raw grinding allows the seed’s nutrients and enzymes to remain live, greatly enriching the seed butter.
