Organic Crunchy Sprouted Almond Butter with Coconut & Vanilla

Philosopher Foods was founded in 2013 by Tim Richards, a food entrepreneur who wanted to connect his interests in food, philosophy and environmental activism. The business began with sprouted almond butter in a shared home in Davis, California, and now produces its foods in Santa Rosa, California. Early encouragement from Richards’ housemates helped turn a kitchen experiment into a business. Its values center on transparent ingredients, careful craft and agriculture that supports healthy soil and the people who grow food.

Organic Crunchy Sprouted Almond Butter with Coconut & Vanilla

Crunchy Alchemy combines sprouted organic almonds with organic coconut oil, vanilla extract and ancient seabed salt. The chunky texture gives each spoonful extra bite, while coconut and vanilla add another layer of flavor to the almond base. Choose this variety when texture and a coconut-and-vanilla profile are both part of what you enjoy in a nut butter.

The almonds are soaked to begin activation, dehydrated and then stone-ground in small batches. Drying is a separate step from roasting, and the maker describes these almond butters as dehydrated rather than roasted. The smooth and crunchy versions share their basic ingredient families but offer different textures, so the selected variety determines how the butter behaves on a spoon, in a bowl or across a slice of toast.

Texture and serving ideas

Spread a spoonful on toast, add a little to oatmeal, or use it as a textured topping for a smoothie bowl. It can also accompany sliced apples or other fruit. Add it at the end when you want the almond pieces to stay distinct. For a shared breakfast table, set out a clean serving spoon and let each person add the amount they prefer.

Jar sizes and packaging

Choose one 6 oz jar or one 16 oz jar from the listed size options. Both sizes contain the same named variety; selecting a larger jar changes the net quantity, not the flavor or texture choice. The jar size describes the almond butter itself and is separate from the glass packaging weight. The smooth and crunchy products remain separate listings.

The almond butter is packaged in a glass jar that can be reused or recycled after it has been emptied and cleaned. For best everyday use, keep the rim and lid clean so that the jar closes securely. Keeping water and wet utensils out of the jar is part of the maker’s published storage guidance, rather than a request to refrigerate it.

Ingredients and allergens

Maker-disclosed ingredients: Sprouted Organic Almonds †, Organic Coconut Oil †*, Organic Vanilla Extract †*, Ancient Seabed Salt.
† Regenerative Organic Certified®
*Certified Fair Trade

Contains tree nuts (almonds). The current label states that the facility also processes peanuts and tree nuts. The manufacturer’s current allergen statement identifies shared equipment for almonds, cashews and peanuts. May contain shell fragments or almond skins.

Production and ingredient origin

The finished almond butter is stone-ground in Santa Rosa, California, USA, using Northern California almonds. The vanilla is sourced from Indonesia and the coconut oil from Sri Lanka, according to the maker’s ingredient guide. This is California production with disclosed imported ingredients, not an all-U.S.-grown ingredient claim.

Storage

Refrigeration is not required or recommended by the maker. Keep moisture out of the jar, use clean and dry utensils, avoid double-dipping and replace the lid promptly. The almond-butter help center states a two-year shelf life from the production date stamped on the jar. Refrigerating after opening is optional, but the maker says it can change the flavor and texture and introduce moisture.
