Nut Brothers are passionate about sourcing the finest ingredients from across the world to make the best nut butters they can, right here in New Zealand. And to make the best tasting nut butters, you need to freshly roast the nuts right here in New Zealand. They have a team of experts who are committed to making sure every small batch is roasted, milled and packed to perfection.
Most people are unaware that some manufacturers just churn out peanut butter from peanuts that were roasted overseas, several months prior. So, it’s really not as “made in New Zealand” as it could be and definitely not as fresh as it could be.
Nut Brothers have just launched a new 500g Super Crunch and 500g Super Smooth as their customers have pleaded for a bigger jar; they wanted more crunch, more smoothness and more to spread around.
Their current 300g range consists of:
Peanut Butter Crunchy
Peanut Butter Smooth
Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate
Peanut Butter Smokin’ Chipotle
Natural Almond Butter Smooth
Almond Butter with Sunflower Seeds & Chia Fibre
Almond Butter & Sticky Dates

There’s a new buzz on the Beekist® tomato vine and it’s all about packaging.
In a bid to tackle plastic pollution, T&G are saying goodbye to plastic punnets – and hello to cardboard punnets. The move will take 5.5 million plastic punnets off supermarket shelves and 100 tonnes less plastic that Kiwis will take home.
Flavour packed Beekist® tomatoes are pollinated by bumblebees, picked by hand, packed in cardboard, and delivered fresh to stores – because the team at T&G believe the less tinkering you do to Mother Nature, the better.
The Beekist® range is available now at all supermarkets.

Made in Nelson by husband and wife duo, Pete and Marleen, Pete’s Natural is passionate about making lemonades the traditional way. They fill a niche market, as they are the only New Zealand company to be using freshly squeezed fruit from New Zealand growers, instead of concentrates from overseas. Three years ago, the company set up their own facility allowing them to control the entire process – including bottling.
They embrace what they call ‘fair trade at home’ which means when customers are drinking Pete’s Natural Lemonades, they’re supporting other New Zealand businesses too. Traditionally brewed, the old-fashioned lemonade is lightly fermented and contains hops, and in some flavours lavender for health benefits.
Pete and Marleen’s passion has meant they have taken their company from strength to strength – growing the brand to nine flavours since 2009. The entire range includes Kola, Lemon Chilli, Lemonade, Ginger Beer, Feijoa, Orange Berry, Currant Crush, Lime-o-nade and most recently, Raspberry Kola in collaboration with Ling & Zing from The Block NZ.
The lemonades are a healthy, nutritious, and delicious alternative to traditional sodas. They are gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with about 50 percent less sugar than most other sparkling beverages.
