This is a reminder that our nut butters only use natural ingredients and never use any palm oil. Because of this, you should expect to see some natural oil separation, which can be solved by simply stirring the oils back in to the nut butter.

Hi-oleic peanuts are a special variety of peanuts that are only grown in a few places around the world; we source ours from Argentina. We use these peanuts not only because they are naturally sweeter and more delicious than standard peanuts, but they actually also contain higher levels of mono-unsaturated fats (the ‘good’ kind of fat, which helps support normal cholesterol levels). In fact, hi-oleic peanuts contain around 30% more monounsaturated fats than regular peanuts, which puts them up there with other heart-healthy foods like avocados and olive oil.

Yep! Peanut butter is a great addition to a healthy balanced diet. Peanut butter is source of natural protein and, it's high in fibre (which means they have more than 6g of fibre per 100g), so it's great for a happy gut. Peanut butter is packed full of mono-unsaturated fats (the 'good' kind) so it's a great addition to breakfast on toast, porridge or in smoothies. We also love it as a healthy snack with rice cakes, apple slices, or straight from the spoon!

Unsustainable palm oil production has been responsible for huge amounts of deforestation in recent years which has had severe consequences on both the environment and local communities. As well as being damaging to the environment, it is also high in saturated fat, which we should avoid consuming too much of. This is why you'll never find palm oil in any Pip & Nut product.
