"Valencia peanuts are treasured for their natual sweetness and buttery texture. Combined with roasted golden flaxseeds, sea salt and nothing else, this peanut butter tastes super and is an excellent source of ALA Omega-3's!"

Flax is good for you, keeps things moving through

At room temp or cooler Coco Butter is a solid, kinda chalky. But....if you microwave it about 10 seconds it becomes a melt-in-your-mouth icing! I like it as is, but you can add a little sugar to it to make it sweet. I haven't experimented too much with it yet, it's good right off the spoon. I did spread it on my pancakes, yum! I could see putting it on some fruit as a glaze of some sort.

"Coconut oil contains primarily saturated fat but no trans fat. It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal properties. The saturated fat found in coconut oil is a unique fat that helps prevent heart disease, helps to build up the immune system, and does not turn into fat in your body. In fact, it helps to speed up your metabolism … helping you to burn fat and increase your energy "
