The story of Chai Spice Peanut & Almond Butter starts with the 2012 wedding of our co-founders, Mark and Megan. Mark invented the concept of a nut butter blended with chai spices as a fusion of some of his favorite things (nuts) and Megan’s (masala chai tea).  Each guest received a jar as a wedding favor, and the reception was so enthusiastically positive, Mark and Megan decided to include it in Big Spoon’s permanent lineup. It’s been a bestseller ever since!  We especially love this nut butter spread thickly on fresh apple slices, stirred into overnight oats, on dreamy PB&Js, and in heaping spoonfuls right out of the jar. 

Our Chai Spice Peanut & Almond Butter combines American agriculture in the form of High-Oleic Runner peanuts and heirloom Mission almonds with traditional tea spices of the Indian subcontinent, where “chai” is simply a word for “tea” in Hindi. Like gumbo in Louisiana or peach pie in Georgia, there are as many spiced tea recipes in India as there are families, who pass them down through generations.  

The spice mixture is a traditional Masala Chai blend of cardamom, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, and black pepper, which we slowly mix with the freshly milled nuts before adding touches of raw Organic cane sugar, raw Organic wildflower honey, and Jacobsen sea salt to create a bright, complex burst of flavor in every spoonful.  

Grown by a close-knit community of farmers on North Carolina’s Coastal Plain, our High-Oleic Runner peanuts are 30% higher in heart-healthy fats than other peanuts and are great sources of protein, iron, calcium, magnesium, and the antioxidant resveratrol. These High-Oleic peanuts also offer natural protections against oxidation (rancidity) and the mold that can produce aflatoxin. Every lot of peanuts we receive is also thoroughly tested and given a clean bill of health before we accept it into inventory. 

Mission almonds are also nutrition powerhouses, offering vitamin E, magnesium, and 20% more protein than other almond varieties. In addition, they require less water for cultivation, making them a more environmentally sustainable choice. Unlike many almond butter makers out there, we mill our almonds with their anti-inflammatory skins intact, further boosting their antioxidants and heart-healthy fiber in our nut butters. 

Our Organic raw wildflower honey comes from the Sunderbans National Park in Bengal, India, which also serves as a sanctuary for the region’s tigers and other wildlife. Among its many nutritional benefits, raw honey contains inflammation-fighting polyphenols, phytonutrients that boost the immune system, and natural anti-bacterial enzymes.  

Thinking about our mini 3oz jars? They are perfect for traveling (TSA-approved), sampling, or gifting!
