Pumpkin-Walnut-Brazilnut Butter, BTR™, 8 oz.

BTR™ = Better Than Raw.  The Blue Mountain Organics folks do nut and seed butters right!  They sort, soak, rinse, and dry their organic nuts and seeds at 108° F over 4 days.  Then they are freshly and gently ground into wonderful nut and seed butter combinations. 

So why all the fuss about this process?  Well, the low temperature processing insures enzymes remain intact, and the oils and nutrients are preserved in their healthiest and natural form.  And the soaking reduces phytates, those naturally occuring "anti-nutrients" that inhibit absorption of some essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.  In addition, soaking initiates the sprouting process in the nut, which begins to change the protein/fat/carbohydrate ratio, and naturally aids in making the fats and proteins easier to digest.  And if that wasn't enough, the soaking process reduces enzyme inhibitors that are responsible for that uncomfortable digestive strain one can experience after consuming plain old raw nuts or raw nut butters.  For comprehensive information from the Weston A. Price Foundation on the "Principles of Healthy Diets", including recommendations on soaking seeds and nuts, click here.

We like to call this combination the "manly" nut and seed butter, with its inclusion of: 

• pumpkin seeds (good source of magnesium, manganese, zinc,essential fatty acids, and reputation for being prostate friendly)
• walnuts (omega 3 fatty acids, manganese, copper, ellagic acid, and heart healthy reputation as well as potential cancer fighting via ellagic acid)
• brazilnuts (excellent source of selenium, renowned for its prostate cancer preventive properties).  Read more about selenium here.

Enough of the nutrition stuff.  The Blue Mountain Organics nut butters just taste better than any nut butter you've ever had.  There is a natural "sweetness" that is evident due to the soaking process, and every batch is made to order and promptly refrigerated once received by us.  This product is fine to ship unrefrigerated, but should be refrigerated upon receipt.

Delicious and good for you.  That's a health building combination that's hard to beat.  Enjoy in good health!
