Chopped Peanuts
Delicious chopped peanuts with no salt. Ideal for ice cream toppings, baking, and cooking. Also known as granulated peanuts.
Organic Peanut Butter (Creamy, Unsalted)
Delicious dry roasted peanuts are used to make this incredibly smooth organic peanut butter. There are no additives such as sugar or salt. Just pure peanut butter.
Organic Quinoa
Organic quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a light, fluffy, edible seed that feels and tastes more like a grain.
Thanks to its mild, somewhat nutty and irresistible flavor, organic quinoa is an immensely popular
food. But this "mother grain" is also valued for its tremendous nutritional content.
