We use organic virgin coconut oil for the luxurious taste and mouth feel it gives our Tarts, Cups & Bites. Coconut oil also melts at 76 degrees so when our products begin to reach room temperature, they literally melt-in-your-mouth. We think that melt-in-your-mouth experience is why our products taste so amazing. Coconut oil is also known for its beneficial medium chain fats and is used frequently by athletes and Paleo enthusiasts as an energizing fuel for the body. Coconut oil is also known to be anti-microbial and anti-bacterial.

Coconut oil is a Medium Chain Triglyceride (fat) that is rapidly absorbed by the body and is quickly metabolized (burned) as fuel unlike long chain fats. The result of this accelerated metabolic conversion is that instead of being stored as fat, the calories contained in MCTs are very efficiently converted into fuel for immediate use by organs and muscles.

We need fats to be healthy and strong. Plant based fats like those found in nuts, seeds and coconut oil, contain fatty acids that make up our cell membranes, help with brain function, are necessary for the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (including A, C , E, D & K) and for the production of energy and hormones.

No! All of the products we make are free of corn, soy, and starches.

DO I NEED TO KEEP YOUR PRODUCTS REFRIGERATED?

Due to the delicate nature of our fresh, plant-based ingredients, all of our products should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to eat.  They can also be stored in the freezer to further extend their life!
