Weve all witnessed the browning of an apple. When the fruit is cut or bruised browning occurs because living cells are damaged and begin to oxidize. Now imagine the process used during the production of typical nut butter - mastication with heavy duty metal blades. This process literally shreds, tears and cuts repeatedly until the desired texture is achieved.

Any living enzymes, viable nutrients, and life would certainly dwindle. RAW and LIVING are principles we at Dastony are truly passionate about. Like with anything living, the energy and vital compounds found in nuts and seeds are very delicate. Our method of stone grinding is the best way to preserve and cherish this life force.

Large granite wheels slowly turn grinding the food until it is silky smooth. We maintain temperatures well below 105 degrees which is a gauge for the preservation of raw and living.
