Nut butter should be one of the simplest foods in the shop: nuts, blended into a jar. Yet walk down the aisle and you will find jars bulked out with palm oil, sweetened with sugar and stiffened with additives. Learning to read the label is the difference between a genuinely good, wholesome nut butter and a processed spread pretending to be one. Here is exactly what to look for. Check the ingredients first The single most useful habit is to turn the jar around and read the ingredients before anything else. The best nut butters have just one: nuts. That is it. A truly good peanut butter, for example, should list only peanuts, ideally at 100%. The shorter the list, the closer you are to real, honest nut butter. If the list runs to several lines, that is your first warning sign. What you don't want to see A few common additives are worth avoiding, and knowing why helps. Palm oil and other vegetable oils are added to stop the natural oils separating and to create an artificially smooth, stable texture. They bulk out the jar cheaply and bring environmental concerns with palm oil in particular. Added sugar turns a savoury, nutritious food into something closer to a sweet spread, and it is surprisingly common even in "natural" looking jars. Added salt is often included in larger amounts than you would choose yourself. And emulsifiers and stabilisers are there purely to alter texture and shelf life, not to make the butter better. None of these belongs in a simple, quality nut butter. Why natural oil separation is a good sign Here is something that puts people off unnecessarily. In a real, additive-free nut butter, a layer of natural oil often rises to the top of the jar. Many assume this means the product has gone wrong, when in fact it is the opposite: it is proof that nothing has been added to hold it artificially together. All you need to do is give it a good stir before use. If a nut butter never separates, it usually means stabilising oils have been added to stop it. A little separation is a badge of honesty. Why stone-ground and artisanal matters How a nut butter is made affects both flavour and quality. Stone-ground nut butters are milled slowly between stones, which keeps the temperature down and preserves the natural flavour and character of the nuts. The result is a richer, more rounded taste and a texture that feels like real ground nuts rather than a slick, uniform paste. Artisanal, small-batch production tends to mean more care over the nuts themselves and less reliance on shortcuts and additives. In short, better methods make better butter. A benchmark to look for If you want a simple example of what good looks like, our RAWGORILLA Organic Smooth Peanut Butter and Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter tick every box on this list. They are made from 100% organic peanuts and nothing else, stone-ground the traditional way, with no palm oil, no added sugar, no added salt and no emulsifiers. They will separate a little, because there is nothing artificial holding them together, and they come in a generous 1kg jar for proper value. That is the standard worth measuring any nut butter against. How to store and use natural nut butter Because good nut butter contains only nuts, a few simple habits keep it at its best. Give it a thorough stir when you first open it to mix the natural oils back through. Store it in a cool cupboard, or in the fridge if you prefer a firmer texture and want to extend its life, though chilling makes it harder to spread. Beyond toast, use it in smoothies, satay sauces, porridge, baking, energy balls and dressings, where its pure nutty flavour really shines. The bottom line Choosing the best nut butter comes down to one simple rule: read the label and look for just nuts. Avoid palm oil, added sugar, salt and emulsifiers, welcome a little natural oil separation, and favour stone-ground, artisanal jars made with care. Do that, and every spoonful will be exactly what nut butter should be, real food and nothing else.

A keto diet is far easier to stick to when your cupboard is working with you rather than against you. The shops are full of processed products stamped with the word keto, but the best low-carb foods are usually the simplest ones: whole, natural ingredients with nothing added. Stock these, and you will always have the makings of a low-carb meal or snack to hand. Here are the most natural keto foods worth keeping in your pantry. Natural fats to cook and dress with Fat is the foundation of a keto diet, so start with good, natural sources. Extra virgin olive oil is ideal for dressings and gentle cooking, while coconut oil is a keto favourite because it is stable at higher temperatures and rich in the medium-chain fats that suit a low-carb way of eating. A jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil earns its place for frying, roasting and baking, so our Raw Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is a natural pantry staple. Nuts and seeds: the keto workhorses Few foods suit keto as neatly as nuts and seeds. They are naturally high in healthy fats, low in carbohydrate and satisfying, which makes them perfect for snacking and cooking alike. Brazil nuts, macadamias, almonds, pecans and walnuts are all excellent choices, so a bag of Brazil nuts is a good place to start. Seeds deserve just as much cupboard space. Chia, flax, hemp, pumpkin and sunflower seeds are all low in carbs and rich in fats and fibre. Chia and flax are especially useful, since they gel when soaked and can stand in for higher-carb ingredients in puddings, porridge alternatives and baking. Keep some chia seeds and shelled hemp seeds to sprinkle over meals or blend into shakes for an easy fat and protein boost. Nut and seed butters A good nut butter is a keto pantry essential, but the label matters. The natural choice is one made from just nuts, with no added sugar, palm oil or salt. Spread it, stir it into sauces, or eat a spoonful as a quick snack. Our Organic Smooth Peanut Butter is made from 100% peanuts and nothing else, which is exactly what you want on a low-carb diet. Coconut in all its forms Coconut is a genuine keto hero. Beyond the oil, desiccated coconut and coconut flakes make handy low-carb additions to breakfasts and baking, while coconut flour is a naturally low-carb flour that works well in keto bakes when combined with eggs and a little care. Coconut milk and cream, kept in the cupboard, are perfect for curries and puddings without the carbs of dairy. Low-carb flours for baking Ordinary flour is off the menu on keto, but natural alternatives fill the gap. Ground almonds, or almond flour, and coconut flour are the two mainstays, letting you make low-carb breads, pancakes and treats. Keeping a bag of each means a keto bake is always within reach, and both bring their own flavour and goodness rather than being empty fillers. Cacao and dark chocolate A keto diet does not have to mean giving up chocolate. Raw cacao nibs are naturally low in sugar and add a rich, chocolatey crunch to breakfasts, snacks and baking, and they are packed with flavour. Our Organic Cacao Nibs are a lovely natural way to satisfy a chocolate craving. High-percentage dark chocolate works too, as long as you check the label and keep an eye on the sugar. Savoury extras worth keeping A few more natural staples round out a keto pantry. Olives bring healthy fats and a salty hit, nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, savoury depth to dishes without dairy, and a good range of herbs and spices keeps low-carb cooking interesting. Tahini and other seed pastes are useful too, adding richness to dressings and dips. What to leave out The word keto on a packet does not always mean natural. Many processed keto snacks and bars are full of sweeteners, fillers and additives, so it pays to read the ingredients and favour whole foods where you can. It is also worth remembering that grains, most pulses and starchy vegetables are higher in carbohydrate, so they sit outside a strict keto pantry. Sticking to simple, single-ingredient foods keeps things both low-carb and genuinely wholesome. Build your cupboard around these natural staples and eating keto starts to feel effortless, with a fridge and pantry ready to turn into a low-carb meal whenever you need one. If you are new to keto or managing a health condition, it is always sensible to check in with a healthcare professional before making big changes to how you eat.

There are few kitchen disappointments quite like reaching for a handful of nuts and getting that sharp, bitter, slightly paint-like taste of rancidity. Nuts are not cheap, so throwing away a spoiled bag is a real waste of money as well as good food. The good news is that keeping nuts fresh is easy once you understand why they turn in the first place. Here are our best, practical tips for storing nuts so they stay fresh far longer. Why do nuts go rancid? Nuts are rich in natural oils, and those oils are mostly unsaturated fats. This is great news for your health, but it is exactly what makes nuts prone to spoiling. When unsaturated fats are exposed to oxygen, they slowly oxidise, and it is this oxidation that produces the stale, bitter, off flavour we call rancidity. Three things speed the process up: oxygen, heat and light. Moisture is the fourth enemy, because damp nuts can grow mould as well as spoil. This also explains why some nuts keep better than others. Nuts especially high in delicate polyunsaturated fats, such as walnuts, pecans and pine nuts, tend to turn fastest. Nuts with more stable fats, like almonds and cashews, generally last a little longer. Whatever the type, the aim of good storage is simple: keep oxygen, heat, light and moisture away for as long as possible. How to tell if a nut has gone off Your nose is the best test. Fresh nuts smell mild, sweet and buttery. Rancid ones smell sharp and bitter, a bit like old cooking oil, crayons or paint. The taste is unmistakably bitter and unpleasant. Rancid nuts are not usually dangerous, but they taste horrible and the oxidation degrades some of their nutrients, so it is best to throw them away rather than push through. If in doubt, give them a sniff before you use them. The golden rules of storing nuts Keeping nuts fresh comes down to a handful of simple habits. Use an airtight container. The less contact nuts have with air, the slower they oxidise. Transfer opened bags into a glass jar (the best option!) rather than leaving them clipped shut and half open. This one change alone makes a noticeable difference. Keep them cool and dark. Heat and light both accelerate spoilage, so store nuts in a cupboard away from the oven, the hob and any sunny windowsill. A cool, dark cupboard is the bare minimum, and cooler is always better. Keep them dry. Moisture invites mould, so make sure containers are completely dry before you fill them, and never store nuts somewhere steamy like above a kettle. Use the fridge and freezer. This is the single most effective tip. Nuts store beautifully in the cold, which dramatically slows the oxidation of their oils. The fridge is ideal for nuts you will get through over a few months, while the freezer is perfect for longer storage or for bulk buys. Nuts freeze well, do not need defrosting before use, and can keep for a year or more this way. Just seal them well to keep out moisture and fridge or freezer odours. Buy whole where you can. The more a nut is broken down, the more surface area is exposed to air, so chopped, flaked and especially ground nuts and nut flours go rancid faster than whole ones. If you buy nuts whole and chop or grind them as needed, they will keep far longer. Smart habits for bulk buyers Buying nuts in larger bags is the best way to get good value, and it works perfectly well as long as you store them sensibly. The trick is not to keep dipping into one big open bag over months, letting air in every time. Instead, decant your bulk nuts into smaller airtight portions, keep one out for everyday use, and store the rest sealed in the fridge or freezer. It is also worth labelling containers with the date so you can use older stock first. This approach means you can stock up on quality nuts without any worry. Our Organic Brazil Nuts come in a generous 1kg bag, and storing most of the bag in the freezer keeps them tasting freshly harvested for months. The same goes for more delicate nuts like our Organic Walnut Halves, which, being higher in fragile fats, especially benefit from a spell in the fridge or freezer. How long do nuts actually keep? Exact times vary by type, but as a rough guide, most raw nuts kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard will stay good for a few months. Move them to the fridge and you can often extend that to around six months or more. In the freezer, many nuts will keep for a year or beyond. Nuts still in their shells last longest of all, because the shell is a natural barrier against air and light. Always trust your nose over the calendar, though: a quick sniff tells you far more than a date ever will. Fresh nuts, every time Storing nuts well is genuinely simple. Keep them airtight, cool, dark and dry, lean on your fridge and freezer, buy whole where you can, and portion up your bulk bags rather than leaving them open to the air. Do that, and you will get the full flavour, goodness and value out of every nut, with none of that bitter, rancid disappointment. Stock up with confidence, and store smart.

Nuts are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat, but they are rarely cheap. Weigh a handful of almonds or Brazil nuts against a bag of crisps and the price gap is obvious. There are good reasons for it, and none of them is simply greed. From slow-growing trees to thirsty crops and difficult harvests, here is an evidence-based look at why nuts cost what they do. Nut trees take years to pay off Unlike a field of wheat that is sown and harvested within a year, most nuts grow on trees that take several years to mature before they produce a worthwhile crop. That long lead time makes supply slow to respond to demand. If prices rise, a grower cannot simply plant more and cash in next season, they face years of waiting and investment first. This lag keeps supply tight and prices firm, especially when demand for nuts is growing as more people eat them for their health. Some nuts are extremely thirsty Water is a major hidden cost. Almonds are the classic example: they are grown heavily in California, a region repeatedly hit by drought, and they need a lot of water to produce each kernel. When water is scarce or expensive, the cost of growing feeds straight through into the price. Concentrating so much of the world's supply of a nut in one climate-vulnerable region also means a single bad season can move global prices. Harvesting and shelling can be hard, manual work Getting the edible kernel out is often far more involved than it looks. Cashews are a striking case. They grow attached to the cashew apple, and their shells contain a caustic irritant, so shelling is delicate, often manual work that has to be done carefully. That labour is a big part of why cashews cost what they do. Across many nuts, harvesting, sorting, drying and grading all add cost before the nut ever reaches a shelf. Some nuts cannot really be farmed at all Brazil nuts are perhaps the best example of why nuts can be expensive. They come almost entirely from wild trees in the Amazon rainforest, not from plantations. The trees rely on specific pollinators and on rainforest wildlife to spread their seeds, which means they resist being grown in neat, farmed rows. Brazil nuts are therefore gathered from the wild, by hand, across vast areas of forest. Their price reflects that genuinely limited, labour-intensive supply, and it is tied to the health of the rainforest itself. If you would like to try some, our Organic Brazil Nuts are wild-harvested in Bolivia and sold in a 1kg bag, which works out far better value per kilo than small snack packs. Storage, transport and waste all add up Nuts are rich in natural oils, which makes them prone to going rancid if they are not stored and transported carefully. Keeping them fresh means careful handling, good packaging and sometimes temperature control, all of which cost money. Add in the long distances most nuts travel from where they grow to where they are eaten, and the price climbs further. How to get better value from nuts Because nuts keep reasonably well when stored properly, buying them in larger quantities is usually the single best way to save. A big bag almost always works out cheaper per kilo than repeated small packs, and you can decant what you need and keep the rest sealed in a cool, dark place, or even in the freezer to extend its life. Choosing broken or pieces rather than perfect whole kernels is another easy saving when you are baking or chopping them anyway. Honest reasons to be expensive Nuts are expensive for honest reasons: slow-growing trees, thirsty crops, labour-heavy harvesting and, in the case of Brazil nuts, a supply that comes straight from the wild. Understanding that makes the price easier to accept, and buying in bulk from a transparent source is the simplest way to enjoy them for less.

If you have looked at the prices inside the Whole Food Earth Club and thought "that seems too good to be true," you are not alone. Lower prices and free membership can sound like there must be a hidden catch. There isn't, and this article explains exactly how the Club works, why the prices are what they are, and why you can join with complete confidence. What is the Whole Food Earth Club? The Club is a free membership that unlocks lower, member-only prices across our range of whole foods. There is no joining fee, no subscription and no recurring charge. You simply create a free account, and you can then buy at member prices whenever you shop. It is open to everyone, whether you are stocking a home cupboard or buying for a business. Is it really free? What's the catch? It really is free, and there is no catch. You pay only for the products you order, plus any delivery charges and tax, exactly as you would expect. There is no card required just to join, no trial that quietly turns into a paid plan, and no obligation to keep buying. You can leave whenever you like. We have set the Club up this way on purpose, because we would rather earn your loyalty with good prices than lock you into a fee. So why are the prices so much lower? This is the question everyone asks, so here is the straightforward answer. First, we cut out the middleman. As an importer and wholesaler, we bring products in at source and sell them straight to you. Every extra pair of hands between the producer and your cupboard adds a mark-up, so by removing the distributors, wholesalers and retailers that usually sit in the chain, we take those mark-ups out of the price altogether. Second, rather than taking a large profit on each item, we keep our margins deliberately slim and rely on selling more, which lets us pass the saving on to you. Third, the Club is how we give our members our true, direct prices, closer to what we actually pay to bring the products in. In other words, these are simply the best prices we can offer when we sell to you directly. Is the quality the same? Yes. Club prices apply to wast majority of our products, in the same packaging, with the same quality, sourcing and freshness. Nothing is downgraded, close to expiry or second-rate. The only thing that changes is the price you pay. Why you can trust us We know that trust has to be earned, especially online, so here is why thousands of customers are happy to shop with us. We are an established UK company, not a fleeting online store. Our customers have left us real reviews, which you can read for yourself before you decide. We now have thousands members who already buy at Club prices. And every order is backed by our real customer support team, so if something is not right, we will put it right. Real reviews, a real UK business and a clear guarantee are the best answers to any doubt. You can even resell our products Here is a sign of just how genuine the value is: we actively welcome members reselling our products. You are free to resell through physical shops, stalls and markets, and online resale is available by application. In other words, the Club prices are good enough that independent shops and small businesses can buy from us and sell on. That is only possible because the savings are real. You can read the full details in our Club Terms and Conditions, which set everything out in plain language. How to join Joining takes a minute and costs nothing.
