Our butters
At Bae’s Butters we are dedicated to bringing you the best pure, organic nut and seed butters that we can produce. The result is uncompromised quality and incredible taste. There are no additives, period.
For a long time, we were unsatisfied with the grinding process for our nut butters. Some were too dry and we questioned the available processes by which butters were conventionally produced. Today, we carefully roast and stone grind all of our nut and seed butters to deliver improved nutrition and quality. Stone grinding is well recognized as being the best method to consistently deliver high-quality nutrition, as it preserves the nutrients naturally found in nuts better than any other method.
We spent extensive time researching options to bring the best nutrition, quality and consistency to our butters. We believe that these butters are the best that money can buy, but we also recognize that we are all individuals with our own preferences, so all we can promise is that we will continue to remain dedicated to serving you pure, non-GMO, organic nutrition so you can indulge, unapologetically, in every spoonful!
OUR ROOTS
Growing up, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were a staple in my diet, and over time peanut butter became my introduction into the plant-based world. However, as a professional chef, I began to study nutrition and discovered how much I really love almonds, specifically almond butter! I was consuming massive amounts of almond butter and it quickly became an obsession.
It had the same consistency that I remember as a kid and the flavor was somehow familiar. Before too long I was eating almond butter on just about everything and that quickly turned into a desire to make it myself.
I understood the importance of eating healthy and wanted to create a product that not only tasted incredible and had the smoothy, creamy texture you desire, but that maintained the nutritional integrity of the nut itself.
The journey to create the perfect nut butter in terms of purity, quality, consistency, and overall nutrition is what Bae’s Butters is all about. We slow roast and stone grind our nut butters to give you all three!
And I’m sure you’re wondering about the Unicorn branding. We chose a unicorn because it best represents the uniqueness that we strive for and the overall vision of the business. Plus, it’s been said if you’re born in Nashville, then you’re a unicorn and Bae’s Butters was born in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City USA in 2018.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF STONE GRINDING?
Stone grinding — while slow in comparison to steel grinding — has a number of proven benefits. The slow massaging process completely breaks down the particles and cell walls at low temperatures, revealing the complete nutrition of the product as it is consumed. High temperatures usually found in steel mills can not only destroy sensitive vitamins, but can also result in oxidation and rancidity which reduces quality and product life. Stone grinding produces an end product which retains the natural, original proportions of the seeds and nuts being ground. Stone grinding releases the natural oils and distributes them uniformly throughout the product creating a wonderfully smooth and creamy product.
HOW LONG HAS STONE GRINDING BEEN AROUND?
For centuries peoples have used pestle and mortar or stone wheels to gently grind grains, seeds, spices and nuts to bring out the best flavors while retaining essential vitamins. Industrialization and mechanization has resulted in substitute processes using high-speed mills and processors where speed and utility are held in higher regard than quality and nutrition.
