Humble Nut Butter (Season 2 Episode 38) Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

*Special Programming Note:
This episode was recorded before the Coronavirus outbreak.
John Waller and his wife Jess were looking for a healthy, savory, snack so Jess went into the kitchen and blended up some raw nuts and spices and like magic and lots of trial and error, Humble Nut Butter was born.
Countless batches and plenty of feedback later, they launched three signature flavors at Farmers Markets across the Twin Cities. Now their three flavors are available at Lakewinds Food Coop or on Amazon.com.
Look for:
SUNDRIED BASIL CASHEW

Creamy, a little tangy, a little spicy, a lot of flavor. Sundried Basil Cashew is great on vegetables raw or roasted, crackers, and sandwiches.

TRUFFLE HERB WALNUT

Salty and savory, Truffle Herb Walnut is really like nothing else out there. A great addition to a charcuterie plate and glass of wine.

SPICED MAPLE PECAN

Warm turmeric spice and the subtle sweetness of maple blend together perfectly in Spiced Maple Pecan.
