The ABC’s of storing raw nuts

Industry News,Know Your Food Sources,Living Nutz,Nutz in the Company Kitchen | Date: 27 Mar 2012 | 2 Comments | 

We get a lot of questions everyday about different topics relating to nuts. The most frequent question is about storage of nuts. It seems when people order 5 lbs of Almonds or Walnuts and it arrives they say, where is the best place to put these. Most foods do not really like warm and humid conditions and nuts and seeds are no exception. For the most part, produce and definitely nuts and seeds, like cool and dry conditions and it is good to keep them in thick plastic bags or Tupperware containers. Keeping any food away from...

Federal Judge upholds almond pasteurization law (again)

Almond Pasteurization,Industry News,Living Nutz | Date: 07 Feb 2012 | 2 Comments | 

A federal judge in January, has again upheld U.S. Agriculture Department rules requiring treatment of raw almonds. This was in response to two isolated outbreaks of salmonella, in conjunction with conventional almond farms, one in Canada in 2001, and a second in Oregon in 2004. While contamination in almonds is not common, the industry determined that aggressive measures were necessary to prevent any other occurrences. While there are four main methods of pasteurizing almonds, steam processing, high heat treatment (roasting), blanching...

Organic farming is known to be environmentally sustainable, but can it be economically sustainable, as well?

  According to new research in the Sept.-Oct. issue of Agronomy Journal. "In an analysis of 18 years of crop yield and farm management data from a long-term University of Minnesota trial, an organic crop rotation was consistently more profitable and carried less risk of low returns than conventional corn and soybean production, even when organic prime premiums were cut by half."

The Truth About Almond Pasteurization Methods

Almond Pasteurization,Industry News | Tags: ,,, | Date: 11 Apr 2011 | 19 Comments | 

While there are four main methods of pasteurizing almonds, steam processing, high heat treatment (roasting), blanching and highly toxic fumigation treatment with propylene oxide (PPO), two of them are the primary methods that are used most often.. These two are steam processing and PPO fumigation. Steam processing is the method delineated to the organic sector of the almond industry. While this is probably the cleanest method of pasteurizing almonds it is still an option reserved for those who have the budget to use machines like this.   As...

Almond Pasteurization Update

We at Living Nutz would like to thank the almost 30,000 people who have signed the “Mandatory Pasteurization of Almonds is Wrong Petition”.  Since this petition was created in 2007 a lot has happened (thanks to the Cornucopia Institute) in the progress of winning an appeal against the USDA’s ruling that has made all almonds grown in the USA illegal by implementing extreme forms of pasteurization including methods that revert to high heat, carcinogenic chemical fumigation and steam pasteurization. The effects this mandate has had on independent...

  • Hi,
    I just want to let you know that your nutz are out of this world. I let my mother and sister try your Banana Bread Walnutz and Cina-Pecans and they LOVED them. I also love the Chili Pistachios, Curry Almonds, and Pesto Walnutz. The Cina Pecans taste like cinnamon oatmeal cookies, but I put them in a cereal bowl with raw almond mylk and it’s a healthy alternative to the sugary cinnamon cereal I use to eat. Also your Wicked Chili Almonds remind me of barbecued spare-ribs or chicken (which I definitely don’t and haven’t eaten for over a decade). Thanks for creating the best tasting raw nutz around. I got my local store ‘Green Earth, in Riverhead’ to stock them and now I’ll be loading up on them every week. I’m addicted!
    :) Debbie

  • Lip Balm to Die For

    Hello, I just wanted to say Thank You so much for sending my order so quickly! I ordered your Wild Blueberry lip balm and received it in less than a week. I also wanted to say how much I love your products, I found the lip balm a couple of years ago at a little shop while I was visiting family in Belfast, ME, and each time I visited I could not find it anywhere. So I was very excited to order it from your website! Again, thank you so much for your promptness and for supplying such a wonderful product.
    Sincerely, Rose

  • Your lip balm is the best. Exactly, not greasy, just right. My lips are soft and smooth within 1-2 days. Incredible. Blueberry is the best. Unfortunately my health food store is not carrying it for some reason. DT from Wakefield Thank you so much!

  • This is the best lip balm I have ever used, and I cannot find it anywhere in New York City. You should get your product in stores everywhere. Best of luck to you guys and your positive and progressive company!
