I’ve been enjoying 88 Acres seed based bars and seed’nola since they launched in 2014. I supported their Kickstarter and reconnected with them in 2017 (post). Since then, they’ve done a lot including refreshing their brand and adding an awesome line of seed based butters including the less common, and very versatile, watermelon seed butter.
88 Acres came from the founder’s need to come up with tasty, healthy nut-free snacks for her husband. He has a life threatening nut allergy, so the founder (who grew up on an 88 acre organic farm) started “tinkering” with seed based bar recipes. Once their friends started asking for more, they launched 88 Acres. All of the seed based products are hand-crafted in Boston in a dedicated bakery free of peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, dairy, eggs and soy.
88 Acres seed butters are gluten free, nut free, non-GMO and vegan. They use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. I love the Vanilla Spiced Sunflower Seed Butter on my toast, sweet potatoes and on apples. The Watermelon Seed Butter won a Nexty at Expo East in 2019! The unsweetened watermelon butters are a great stand in for tahini with a “rich and buttery flavor” with more protein per serving than almonds or peanuts. I can’t wait to try this recipe for Vegan Seed Butter Queso. Check out other great recipes here.
