Very. We roast in small batches at our 35,000 sq ft. plant in Northeast Minneapolis and pack online orders fresh, so nuts don't sit in a warehouse for months.

Kept sealed in a cool, dry place, our toffee nuts stay fresh for about 9 months (270 days), while the rest of our products stay fresh for at least 6 months (180 days). After opening, store them airtight and away from heat; the refrigerator or freezer keeps raw nuts fresh even longer.

No. We don't label any products gluten-free because they're packed in a facility that also handles wheat and other gluten-containing ingredients.

Our facility processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soy, wheat, sesame, and coconut. Each product page lists its ingredients; if you have a severe allergy, call us before ordering at (612) 781-6596.

Our products are not Kosher certified.

Hokey Pokey® is our signature small-batch caramel corn, made with whole cashews, almonds and pecans in a rich butter caramel. It's not the New Zealand honeycomb candy of the same name. It also comes in No Nutty (nut-free), Pee Bee Gee Bee (peanut), Caramel Apple, and Cheese & Caramel flavors.

Toffee nuts are roasted nuts tumbled in a buttery toffee coating. Our Original Toffee Peanuts are made with just peanuts, sugar, butter and salt. We also make flavors like Maple Bourbon Toffee Almonds (with Minnesota bourbon and Hamel maple syrup), Cinnamon Toasted, and Hot Nuts.

We buy from top growers around the world: pecans direct from growers in Georgia; walnuts, almonds and pistachios direct from growers in California; and cashews mainly from Vietnam.

Carefully, and it's a bit of a secret. Founder Jim Burt learned the craft from a roaster at the old Fisher Nut plant in St. Paul.

Nuts are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, so a handful of raw or roasted nuts makes a satisfying snack as part of a balanced diet. Our toffee and chocolate nuts are a treat.

Jim and Margaret Burt founded We Are Nuts in 1987, starting with a nut packaging machine, a scale and holiday gift tins for local businesses. Today the second generation, their sons Michael, Tommy and Jimmy, run the company from Northeast Minneapolis. We were named a 2021 Minnesota Family Business of the Year.
