At Datfoods, we’re just a small business trying to do the right thing—make honest, delicious nut butter and reduce our impact on the environment wherever we can. That’s why we use glass jars, work with local farmers, and encourage reusing our packaging.
In this blog, we’re taking you through the full jar journey—from where your peanut butter starts to how you can keep that jar out of the landfill. We’ll share simple, real-life glass jar upcycling ideas and talk about how even small choices can add up.
From Vietnamese Farms: Clean Ingredients, Ethical Sourcing
Datfoods partners with smallholder farmers across Vietnam who grow our peanuts and cashews using sustainable, chemical-free practices. These farmers are at the heart of our supply chain—and we prioritize fair wages, ethical treatment, and respect for their traditional methods.
