At the Winter Fancy Food Show, Wellnut Farms made its mark as a producer of a standout kind of nut butter made from walnuts. While there have been plenty of new nut-based spreads introduced to consumers over the past few years, especially as demands for plant-based protein sources has been increasing, walnut butter has been largely unexplored.
In addition to its Original variety, Wellnut Farms also makes indulgent options like Salted Caramel and Maple using ingredients such as roasted walnuts and sustainably sourced palm oil. Walnuts are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 alpha-linolenic fatty acid and are commonly incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes, suggesting that the spreads will be just as versatile in their potential uses.
The new nut butter products come from two family farms and four generations of farmers who are passionate about sharing the goodness that walnuts can provide.
