Long story short – palm oil is bad.

Unsustainable palm oil production has been responsible for huge amounts of deforestation in recent years which has had severe consequences on both the environment and local communities.

As well as being damaging to the environment, it is also high in saturated fat, which we should avoid consuming too much of. This is why you'll never find palm oil in any Mothernutter product.

Yes! Almost all of our products are vegan friendly so you can enjoy our full range of vegan friendly nut butters.

Non-vegan products will be clearly marked.

Dogs love peanut butter! In fact we get tagged in loads of photos of lucky pooches finishing off the jar. Our peanut butter is made only from peanuts and a small amount of sea salt, so it is safe for dogs to eat.

Dogs should not eat peanut butter that contains xylitol (ours never do) or chocolate.

Hi-oleic peanuts are a special variety of peanuts that are only grown in a few places around the world; we source ours from South America.

We use these peanuts not only because they are more delicious than standard peanuts, but they actually also contain higher levels of mono-unsaturated fats (the ‘good’ kind of fat, which helps support normal cholesterol levels). In fact, hi-oleic peanuts contain around 30% more monounsaturated fats than regular peanuts, which puts them up there with other heart-healthy foods like avocados and olive oil.

As we don’t add any palm oil, our nut butters can be runnier than others you might be used to. Some brands use palm oil as an emulsifier (to thicken up the nut butter and to stop the natural nut oils from separating).

As a general rule, if a nut butter is slightly on the runny side with a bit of oil on top, it’s a sign that it’s natural and not packed with lots of unnecessary ingredients. Give it a good stir and you'll be good to go.
