Purchasing Nut Butters question

[Guest guest]

I live in a small town with only a health food store to purchase my

nut butters. All of their butters are in pint jars. Are there

companies that sell their butters in larger quantities? Maybe a

company where I could purchase off line?

Thanks,

Beverly,

Pint-size containers are the norm for the other nut butters

(cashew, macadamia, almond, etc.). I've even seen them in 8oz

jars.

I've been to Whole Foods in very large cities and the 16oz jars

are still the norm. I don't think they come in larger containers.

I honestly think it's cheaper to buy the nut butters at the store

because the shipping is so expensive because the jars are so

heavy. But you might be able to find someplace online that runs

" free shipping " specials from time to time and that would be the

time to stock up.

I find that walnuts, pecans and raw cashews are very easy to

grind, even in a food processor. I buy peanut butter and almond

flour (for things like battering chicken), but the other nuts I just

buy raw and grind myself.

I also live in a small town. I drive a total round trip of two

hours to grocery shop at Whole Foods. I stock up every time I go

shopping. I buy my nut butter by the case because Whole Foods gives

a discount if you buy by the case. The discount works out to be one

free jar of nut butter per case. People always ask what I am using

it for and why I am buying so many eggs. My husband went the last

time for me. A couple of ladies asked him what we do with all of

the nutbutter and he called me on the cell and had me explain to

them about the diet. It was pretty funny.
