However, because of their high fat content (unsaturated, of course), oil can be extracted from peanuts and grinding peanuts produces one of the most popular condiments the world over – peanut butter. Our peanut butter contains nothing but peanuts and a little sea salt, no hydrogenated fats and sugar, frequently added to improve its consistency.

We use premium quality locally grown walnuts to produce our walnut butter. It can be used as a spread or on cereal, pancakes or cakes. Last year Britain’s leading organic organization „Soil Association” awarded it first prize in the Shelf products category. After flaxseed, walnut is among the richest plant sources of omega3 fatty acids. Numerous research links a decreased risk of heart disease with regular intake of walnuts and many studies come to the conclusion that it is the fatty acids that have decreased cholesterol levels and regulated high blood pressure in participants. In America studies link omega 3 deficiency with a range of problems related to cognitive functioning in children: ADHD, insomnia, learning problems. Walnuts are also rich in minerals, particularly magnesium, manganese and iron. They also contain not insignificant quantities of vitamins E and B6.

One of our most popular products – pumpkin seed butter is obtained by grinding husk free pumpkin seeds. Its delicious and unique flavour won it the Soil Association Award for Best Shelf product in 2006. Mostly used as a spread it can also be used as a base for dips – just add a few tablespoons of lemon juice diluted with water.

Most people have heard that pumpkin seed oil is healthy but what they aren’t aware of is that pumpkin seeds are not only an excellent source of omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids (which help reduce cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of heart disease) but also a whole range of minerals: zinc (important for immune system support and male prostate health), magnesium (together with vitamin D helps in calcium absorption, regulates heart beat), iron (essential to the oxygen carrying component of the red blood cell needed for energy production and protein metabolism), potassium ( important to cellular function and conduction of nerve impulses), phosphorous (helps form bones and teeth and is critical to the movement of energy in the body). Pumpkin seeds are also rich in phytosterols, compounds which are found in plants and believed to lower cholesterol.

Pumpkin seed butter also contains high levels of vitamin E (helps prevent the breakdown of unsaturated fatty acids due to the oxidation caused by free radicals), niacin (detoxification of xenochemicals, DNA repairs, production of steroids) and folic acid (aids in the production of red blood cells).
