You'll have the opportunity to stop by and taste Betsy's Best® Gourmet Cashew Butter, Almond Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter and Peanut Butter at the upcoming Chicago-area Gluten Free and Allergen Friendly (GFAF) Expo in Schaumburg, IL, April 22-23, 2017.

Betsy's Best Offers the Finest "Free-From" Foods

The "free-from" trend has been gaining steam in recent years as more and more Americans continue to be affected by food allergies, food intolerances and chronic diseases. The market is shifting toward greater food transparency as consumers are asking companies to explain what's in their products, the rationale behind each ingredient and how products are made.

Rethinking classic seed and nut butters, Betsy's Best® has added unique flavors and superfoods including cinnamon, chia seeds, and cardamom, has committed to Non-GMO Project Verified certification and keeping palm oil out - a controversial ingredient that appears in a number of other nut butter brands.

"After years working as a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, I know that it's hard to find 'free-from' foods that tick all the boxes: health, taste, and convenience," says Betsy Opyt, President, CEO and Founder of Betsy's Best. "The Schaumburg GFAF Expo offers an amazing opportunity to show the Chicago area just how exciting nut and seed butters can be while still being nutritious, kid-friendly, and delicious," she adds.

Betsy's Best® Gourmet Almond Butter was recognized in October 2016 as the first recipient of the ChefsBest Quality in Craft Award in a blind taste test by an expert panel of Certified Master Tasters.
