Why Bio-Activated? Unlock the True Power of Nut Butters

You might have heard of “activated” nuts, which are soaked and dried to reduce natural compounds that can affect digestion. That’s a good start, but our bio-activation goes further. We include extra steps like gentle heating and tailored cleansing for each nut type, aiming to enhance flavour, texture, and nutrient availability. While some studies suggest standard activation may have limited effects, our specialised approach is designed to deliver noticeable improvements in purity and enjoyment.

Regular nut butters often fall short, causing tummy discomfort, limiting nutrient uptake, or simply tasting dull. At Plant Prana, our bio-activated nut butters transform these issues into strengths, helping you achieve the dream: a delicious spread that supports your health, enhances everyday enjoyment, and fits a mindful lifestyle. Here’s how we address key pain points, all while staying true to science-backed nutrition:

• Tummy Troubles from Hard-to-Digest Compounds? Our process reduces enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, making nuts gentler on your system for a more comfortable experience.
• Nutrient Blockers Limiting Vitamins and Minerals? By lowering anti-nutrients, we help your body absorb more goodness—like magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue, and zinc, which supports normal immune function.
• Concerns About Toxins Like Aflatoxins? Bio-activation cleanses nuts to minimise impurities, ensuring a purer product you can trust.
• Bland Taste or Gritty Texture? We unlock natural sweetness and create a smooth, creamy spread that’s indulgent and versatile for toast, smoothies, or snacks.

As a source of protein, our nut butters contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass. They’re also a source of fibre for normal digestive function and vitamin E, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress. The result? Superior nutrition, better digestibility, and a taste that nourishes body and spirit.

In a sea of nut butters, Plant Prana stands out by solving real customer frustrations with care and quality. We craft each jar in small batches in our Devon workshop, using only organic ingredients for sustainable, high-standard results. Whether you’re seeking better energy, easier digestion, or simply a more delicious treat, our spreads deliver, backed by our commitment to purity and wellness.

Our founder, Elliott, kicked off this adventure during his nutrition studies at university. Frustrated by raw nuts that left him feeling heavy and undernourished, he dove into research on enzyme inhibitors and anti-nutrients. Experimenting in his dorm room, he soaked, sprouted, and dehydrated nuts until he perfected the bio-activation process. That discovery grew into Plant Prana: a Devon-based brand dedicated to sharing pure, sustainable nut butters that energise your body and uplift your daily routine.

Bio-activation draws on time-tested practices, such as soaking and sprouting, to reduce anti-nutrients—natural compounds in nuts that can bind to minerals or interfere with digestion. It also helps clear potential toxins, such as mycotoxins, promoting a cleaner product. While research on activated nuts shows mixed results (some suggesting modest benefits), our enhanced process focuses on maximising flavour, texture, and nutrient bioavailability without overpromising. We stick to proven facts, ensuring our nut butters are a reliable source of essential nutrients for everyday health.

Why settle for average when Plant Prana’s bio-activated nut butters offer so much more? They combine indulgent taste, nutritional support, and mindful crafting into one jar—helping you feel vibrant and nourished every day. Spread it on toast, blend it into smoothies, or savour it straight from the spoon.
