Still all the good stuff you have loved since 1989.
How it all started...
WE ARE PROUD THAT OUR ORIGINAL VISION FROM 1989, of a Canadian, small-town, family-owned, organic and natural nut butter manufacturer, has remained true to this day. Originally based in Paris, Ontario, and now located in Brantford, Ontario, Nuts to You produces a wide variety of nut and seed butters with no added salt, sugar or hydrogenated oil, creating a simple, tasty alternative for everyone. Our focus from the beginning on organic has allowed us the satisfaction of knowing we are one of the few originals remaining in the North American market today.
Along the way, we have had the privilege of creating and supporting many organic projects around the world — growing organic peanuts in the Dominican Republic; growing organic sesame seeds in Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua; growing organic almonds in Spain and Sicily — providing us with access to original nut and seed varieties.
Throughout these 35 years in the nut and seed butter business, our involvement with these groups and growers has led to the development of a symbiotic relationship between grower, manufacturer and you, the consumer. Supporting these groups and growers has led to the creation of a simple, healthy, delicious plant-based food produced in Canada.
Each step of the process is done
with great intention and care.
Our Packaging
FROM DAY ONE,
we have put our best foot forward with regards to the environment.
First, we began making organic products for the marketplace, our product priority since 1989, and we continue to add organic alternatives to our product mix. For the organic grower, good healthy soil is the number one priority. Then come good water, healthy raw materials and safe working conditions for the growers and their families.
Second, we have always used environmentally friendly packaging. Our butters are packaged in glass jars with metal caps and shipped in cardboard cartons. We have refused to use plastic jars, caps and internal liners, although they are a cheaper alternative. Seeing the growing concern about plastic in our oceans, waterways and landfills, we hope we have been part of the solution, and not the problem.
We are proud to use glass that is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity. Up to 80% of the glass recovered goes back into the creation of new glass. Glass has an almost zero rate of chemical interaction, ensuring that our nut and seed butters inside glass jars maintain their aroma and flavour.
We continue to look for ways to reduce our waste — our excess peanut skins are now used by a local farmer!
