twist the lid and open sesame!

“Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” was the inspiration for naming our nut butters. It’s a tale of an enchanted cave filled with hidden treasure. The cave can only be unlocked with the famous passcode; ‘Open Sesame!’

In our story, the treasures are the nutrients hidden inside nuts and seeds. And when we turn them into nut butters, they’re not just healthy but delicious and versatile too.
