Products We Love: JEM Raw, Organics

We love sharing our favorite products with you. So today I am sharing yet another tasty treat made right here in Oregon. For those of you who read my recent post about the incredible Pixie Retreat pudding cups (here) and are still cursing me because you don't live in Portland, fear not...this week's tasty treat can be shipped. 

Let me introduce you to JEM Raw Organics. JEM is dedicated to handcrafting raw, organic, gourmet, specialty foods of the highest quality and nutritional integrity using practices that promote sustainability, fair trade and health. Their premier, artisanal nut butters & spreads are free from gluten, dairy, soy and processed sugar, proving that decadent food can be enjoyed guiltlessly.

I first tried the Hazelnut Raw Cacao Sprouted Hazelnut Butter a few weeks ago, and as you can see, I ate it right out of the jar. This stuff puts Nutella to shame. 

And then earlier this week I got my hands on the Coconut Cardamom Sprouted Almond Butter which is equally as delicious....and delicious is an understatement. 

You can buy JEM products at a variety of stores in Portland including New Seasons, Food Front and Whole Foods. And if you don't live in Portland, you can order online from the JEM website! It's expensive, but worth every penny.

Products We Love

About a month ago my mother-in-law was at Coscto where two University of Oregon alumni were selling their almond butter. She bought me a jar, and it was love at first bite!

Meet Keeley and Erika, the founders of Wild Friends Nut Butter!

These ladies found themselves in their college apartment scraping the bottom of a peanut butter jar with a spoon. In a quest to extend the life of the jar,  they emptied their cabinets of all their favorite things, like cinnamon, chocolate chips and coconut, into a food processor to create their first nut butter. 

And as they say...the rest is history. Wild Friends Nut Butter now sells six flavors of nut butters including the first jar I received, the Chocolate Sunflower Seed Almond Butter! A-MAZING!

The other flavors include Sesame Cranberry Peanut Butter, Vanilla Espresso Almond Butter, Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter, Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter and Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter! 

You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. And, they sell them in individual servings which are great for your a snack in the car, on an airplane, for hiking or for a late night snack! 

Wild Friends Nut Butters are sold at Coscto and other stores all over Portland! If you don't live in Portland, you can buy the products on the Wild Friends website and on Amazon, and it's PRIME eligible!
