Behind the Scenes: How Dat Nut Butters & Milks Are Made

At Dat Foods, every jar of nut butter and every bottle of nut milk is crafted with care, dedication, and a commitment to quality and sustainability. From sourcing the finest ingredients to using meticulous production methods, we ensure that our products deliver the best taste, nutrition, and purity.

Join us as we take you behind the scenes to explore how Dat Nut Butters & Milks are made, showcasing our farm-to-table approach, sustainable practices, and high food safety standards.

Step 1: Ethical & Sustainable Ingredient Sourcing

At the heart of Dat Foods’ philosophy is a commitment to responsible sourcing. Our nut butters and milks begin with carefully selected raw ingredients, ensuring that they meet the highest standards for taste and nutrition.

Our peanuts are grown in Hoa Binh, Vietnam, by dedicated farmers who carefully tend to each crop. These farmers follow traditional and sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring that every peanut is grown naturally without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. By monitoring the crops from planting to harvest, they ensure that each peanut reaches peak ripeness, providing the richest flavor and highest nutritional value.“I wake up at 5 a.m. to go to the field and care for the crops. Every peanut plant is monitored from planting to harvest. Knowing that my products will help nourish children makes me even more careful and dedicated,” Mr. Hung shares. This dedication ensures that every nut is harvested at peak ripeness, providing the richest flavor and maximum nutritional benefits.

For nut milks, our cashews, macadamias, and black sesame seeds are sourced from small-scale farmers who follow natural and chemical-free farming practices. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers, ensuring that our ingredients are as pure as nature intended.

Step 2: Gentle Processing to Preserve Nutrition

Once harvested, our nuts undergo a carefully controlled production process that preserves their natural flavors, nutrients, and textures.

Nut Butter Production

Our peanut and cashew butters are made using a minimal-processing technique to ensure maximum flavor and nutrition. The process includes:

1. Roasting: The nuts are lightly roasted to enhance their natural oils and aroma.

2. Grinding: We use a cold-grind method that prevents overheating, preserving essential vitamins, minerals, and natural oils.

3. Mixing: For flavored varieties like peanut butter with honey or cashew butter with cacao, we blend in 100% natural ingredients like pure honey and sea salt.

4. Packaging: Each jar is sealed in glass containers, preventing contamination and maintaining freshness without artificial preservatives.

Nut Milk Production

Our nut milks follow a gentle, preservative-free process to retain their natural taste and nutrients. The process includes:

1. Blending: High-quality nuts are finely ground and blended with filtered water.

2. Straining: The mixture is carefully strained to remove excess pulp, creating a smooth, creamy texture.

3. Enhancing: Natural ingredients like molasses, cocoa, and beetroot powder are added for extra flavor without artificial additives.

4. Bottling: The fresh nut milk is poured into glass bottles, ensuring purity and sustainability.

Step 3: Food Safety & Quality Control

Ensuring that every jar and bottle meets the highest food safety standards is a core part of our mission. Dat Foods is certified by:

FDA (Food and Drug Administration): Ensuring compliance with U.S. food safety regulations.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points): A globally recognized system for preventing contamination.

ISO 22000: A leading standard for food safety management worldwide.

Each batch of nut butter and milk is rigorously tested for quality, texture, and taste, guaranteeing that every product that reaches your table is safe, natural, and delicious.

Step 4: Sustainable Packaging & Zero-Waste Commitment

At Dat Foods, we believe that great food should also be good for the planet. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond farming and production—it’s reflected in our eco-friendly packaging and zero-waste initiatives.

Glass Jars & Bottles: We use recyclable and reusable glass packaging instead of plastic.

Jar Return Program: Available in the Vietnam market, customers can return used jars for discounts, reducing packaging waste.

Minimal Waste Production: By carefully managing our supply chain, we ensure that every nut is used efficiently, minimizing waste at every step.
