Buy Canadian

Hey all,

I figured I'd make this post since I was recently looking at the peanut butter section of the store, and every single brand save for Kraft was imported from the US. Kraft, however, likely uses peanuts imported from the US and processes them into peanut butter here in Canada, which allows them to label their peanut butter as a product of Canada.

Peanuts are apparently hardly grown in Canada because of the climate, so importing them from down south makes sense in that regard. However, if you want to find options that source from Canadian farms, Nuts To You Nut Butter makes Sunflower and Pumpkin seed butters that source their seeds from farms in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario exclusively. Just be sure that it says "grown in Canada" on the label since while the sunflower seed butter I bought states that on the label, the pumpkin seed butter I saw didn't have the label like it does on their website, so it might be a recent change they've made. Just gave the sunflower seed butter a try today and it's genuinely incredible.

I was curious as to what brands of nut butters you all know that are made in Canada since peanut butter is such a big part of a lot of people's diets. Would love to see what y'all have to share!
