Rejuvenative pistachio nut butter is freshly ground two or three times to keep the temperature low and the nuts raw. This process maintains flavor, nutrients and minerals as well as the inherent enzymes or life energy. The final product is immediately refrigerated to bring you a delicious nut butter that is guaranteed to taste and feel better than high-temperature roasted and/or ground nut and seed butters.
