Artisana nut butters review (and a Giveaway)


Artisana Nut Butters

About Us(from the website)
Artisana™ - The Art of Healthy Food
Creating unique, delicious, healthy, gourmet food is a work of passion for us, blending together nuts and seeds like the vibrant colors of an artist’s palette.  Handmade with care, our organic live foods are crafted using a special low heat process that always preserves the life-essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.  Artisana: Raw life-energy from Sun to Plant to Body.

What makes our Nut Butters so special?
TasteSimply put, they taste the best
Unique variety In addition to our superior Almond Butter and Tahini, we make five unique varieties: Walnut Butter, Pecan Butter, Cashew Butter,  and Macadamia/Cashew Butter.  Our coconut products include the ever popular Coconut Butter and it's related "Bliss SuperFood Blends... as well as our NEW Extra Virgin Pure Coconut Oil.
FreshWe hand-select only the finest new-harvest nuts, seeds and coconut for our butters - our almonds and walnuts are the best California has to offer
Quality All of our nut and seed butters are hand crafted in small batches in Berkeley, CA with careful attention to detail.
Organic We only use 100% certified Organic nuts, seeds, and coconut meat which means no toxic pesticides, chemicals, or genetically modified organisms. (Certified by QAI)
Pure We don't add any extra ingredients. No salt, sugar, preservatives or artificial flavors - Nothing. Which means that all you get is the clean, fresh taste of nuts and seeds the way nature intended.
Raw –  The ingredients which comprise our products are raw, not roasted, and made into butter with a low temperature process. This means that all of the enzymes, proteins and vitamins are intact, in their natural state and fully utilized by the body. Heat destroys these sensitive nutrients.
PowerfulForget caffeine! Packed with energy-laden nutrients, our nut butters are a great source of sustained energy.
Healthy Nuts and seeds in the form that we make them - totally raw and organic and processed into butter (purée) - are among the most basic and healthy foods one can eat on the planet, offering to the consumer:
*Non-animal proteins and enzymes
*Vitamins and Minerals
*Essential fatty-acids (including Omega-3, of which Walnut butter has the most)
*Fiber
... All in products more readily digestible than whole nuts...making them truly whole foods.
PEANUT, GLUTEN, and DAIRY FREE
Kosher All of our products are KSA Kosher certified.
Storage – None of our products need to be refrigerated



My review:

My daughter is in kindergarten and for the past 8 month's has eaten a steady diet of PB&J pretty much everyday for lunch. She's grown tired of it, she requests I not make her anymore of THOSE sandwiches! Little did she know I replaced her traditional PB&J with some PB from Artisana (http://www.premierorganics.org/index.php!) I couldn't wait for her to get home from school just to see her reaction. I asked her how was lunch and she began raving about my sandwich! She hates crust, I really hate cutting the crust off the sandwich so she normally just leaves the crust behind not today! She even ate the crust of the sandwich! I was astonished, shocked and surprised. She said it was THAT good.

We were sent a bunch of different butters from Artisana ranging from cashew to almond to macadamia and even a jar of coconut butter! My daughter's new favorite was the almond, my husband latched onto the cashew butter and I'm partial to the pecan butter. These butters are delicious, they're also healthy, they're pure, raw and made with fresh ingredients. This is something you don't have to worry about eating, there's nothing in them that's bad for you, but they manage to taste like it's bad for you:-)! What a perfect combination all the taste none of the guilt.
