When it comes to good food, foodies can never say “Nah”! Sweets are something that every single foodie and even a non-foodie craves for. But in the meantime, we are concerned about weight and health. The Butternut Co.-“Nuts about Health” has created a variety of nut butter that has become the absolute favourite for many people. This is the first company to introduce almond butter to the retail shelf in India.
The Butternut Co. was co-founded by Ankita Maniktala Kukreja and Sahil Kukjera (Former Indian Cricketer) in 2016. Butternut Co. was born out of curiosity, experiments and a firm desire to create good food. The founders are extremely passionate about manufacturing healthy food and bringing every product to life.
The food brand recently introduced some delicious products. These are the Flaxseed Almond Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Honey Peanut Butter. Butternut Co. products vary from vegan, vegetarian and gluten free to unsweetened and keto-friendly. In an interview with Restaurant India, Ankita Kukreja spoke about the concept behind 100% butter,
“We use few and known ingredients – and no artificial colours or flavours. The Butternut Co. products are made without any preservatives, hydrogenated oils or added refined sugar. The food brand aims to keep its products as close to their natural state and prefer to use minimal ingredients during processing. We follow a clean label philosophy which means we do not add any artificial colours, flavours or unnecessary additives to its products.”
Nuts are kind of underrated and can be called as superfoods which add proteins, heart-healthy fats, vitamins to the diet. As a young company, Butternut Co. found it hard to convince the retailers to believe in their products. And the funny task was to make people believe that there’s actually no ‘butter’ in nut butter. The Butternut Co. team believes that their almond butter is more of a household grocery product.
As they understand the role of healthy foods in connecting people and families together, Butternut Co. envisages ‘happy health to every household one jar at a time’ as its motto.
Apart from custom blended flavoured nut butter, their product line includes 100% and organic nut butter as well. They eliminated refined sugars and oils completely from all of their products. What we get is pure unadulterated goodness! Their product line also includes vegan, gluten-free and unsweetened products.
The peanut butter comes in three different variants: Creamy (Rs. 160), Crunchy (Rs. 160) and another variant with pure Organic Honey (Rs. 190). They also offer the Chocolate Peanut Butter, a perfect alternative to sugary choco spreads. The Chocolate Peanut Butter is dairy-free and refined sugar-free; a 200 gm jar is available at Rs. 160. They claimed that kids love this nut butter especially as it is a healthy chocolate spread and would make a perfect gift for mothers too.
This Brand Makes ‘Clean and Healthy Butter’. And I am especially known for my sweet-tooth! I’m certainly going to buy lots of butter and this time I won’t be thinking about my health and weight. So all my foodie friends out there if you want to have something real sweet,tasty and healthy, have a butter that has no butter in it, and try out the products of Butternut Co.
