The power of local hazelnuts in our nut butter and porridge

At Maslo, we take pride in sourcing only the highest quality ingredients for our nut butters. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we use locally grown hazelnuts from the beautiful Fraser Valley in British Columbia, Canada.

Why Local Matters: The Fraser Valley is known for its rich soil, mild climate, and dedicated farmers who take care in growing some of the best hazelnuts in the world. By choosing local hazelnuts, we’re not only supporting our community but also ensuring that every jar of our nut butter is packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The unique flavor of Fraser Valley hazelnuts adds a rich, creamy taste to our products, making them a healthy choice for your family.

Did You Know? The Amazing Benefits of Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts aren’t just tasty, they’re packed with nutrients that can support your overall health.

1. Rich in Healthy Fats

Hazelnuts are a fantastic source of monounsaturated fats, the same heart-healthy fats found in olive oil. These fats may help lower bad cholesterol and improve heart health.

2. High in Antioxidants

Hazelnuts are loaded with antioxidants, including vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from damage and supports your immune system. Antioxidants also play a role in reducing inflammation in the body.

3. Packed with Fiber

With their high fiber content, hazelnuts help promote digestion, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and support heart health. A good source of fiber can help keep you feeling fuller for longer, which is great for weight management.

4. Rich in Vitamins & Minerals

Hazelnuts are a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, thiamine, manganese, and copper. These nutrients support brain function, bone health, and healthy skin.

5. Helps Support Brain Health

The high levels of vitamin E and healthy fats in hazelnuts have been shown to support brain function, improving memory and cognitive function. It's no wonder hazelnuts are often called "brain food!"

6. Great for Skin & Hair

Thanks to their rich content of vitamin E, hazelnuts can also contribute to glowing skin and healthy hair. Vitamin E helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress and can reduce signs of aging.

At Maslo, we believe in offering more than just great taste. We want to provide you with a nutritious snack that supports your well-being. So, the next time you enjoy a spoonful of our hazelnut butter, you’re not just savoring something delicious, you’re also nourishing your body.
