What is maca butter, anyway?
The only ceremonial grade nut butter on planet Earth. Organic and unroasted so the rare and potent anti-inflammatory omega 7 + omega 9 fats and adaptogens stay intact and bioavailable (unlike almost every other nut butter which is roasted and can actually contribute to inflammation in the body!) Way better for you. Way better for the Earth. Way better tasting. More versatile. Super luxurious and intentional, through and through.
How long does it last?
The shelf life of maca maca is 18 months + unopened and unrefrigerated (stored in a cool, dry, shaded place). This was lab tested! All other goods are shelf stable for at least 18 months, as well. Given the right storage you’re able to stock up on everything – the point is to have these supportive foods readily and consistently available for your daily life!
Nutrition
What's with all the fat?
At SUPERFREE, we don’t just include fats; we prioritize them. We intentionally select high-quality lipids that serve as the functional foundation for every product we make.
Sustained Energy vs. The "False Boost"
Unlike products that rely on refined oils and sugars for a fleeting "spark," our fats provide a slow-release energy source. Because fat digests more gradually, it offers long-lasting fuel without the inevitable crash. We’re interested in sustainable vitality, not a temporary high.
The Anti-Inflammatory Edge
We prioritize Omega-3 rich sources to help balance the inflammatory markers often triggered by the generic soy, corn, and vegetable oils found in standard snacks. Our Maca Butter takes this further, offering rare Omega-7 and Omega-9 fatty acids to support multifaceted longevity. We keep everything unroasted so the power of these super fats remains intact and bioavailable - meaning they can actually be utilized by our bodies!
The Power of MCTs
Our 100% organic, coconut-sourced MCT oil (found in our Maca Butter and Gut MCT) is a metabolic powerhouse. Scientifically shown to:
- Support Satiety: Promote a feeling of fullness for easier weight management.
- Fuel Ketosis: Assist the body in staying in a fat-burning state.
- Optimize Gut Health: Foster good flora and help repair the intestinal lining to combat "leaky gut."
At SUPERFREE, our fats are the "through-line"—the essential link that ensures every nutrient in our products is absorbed, utilized, and enjoyed.
Should I care about calorie content?
In our view, not when it comes to SUPERFREE goods! Fats of course provide the highest calorie source, a measurement of energy, but they are super energy *sustaining* so you need to eat less to feel full and be truly satiated! When you’re eating a whole foods, plant-rich, high quality fat diet, measurements such as calories are less important to focus on. Think quality over quantity.
But what about protein?
A common misconception when it comes to plant based or even plant-oriented diets is that not enough protein can be obtained. Consciously consuming means paying attention to what you are eating and making sure your choices are providing a balanced set of macro and micro nutrients, no matter your particular “diet”. A plant rich diet by no means is lacking in protein, nor are our goods for that matter! Nuts, seeds, legumes, grains, veggies and even some fruits in combination can provide all your protein needs! We focus on ingredients that sustain energy and the high functionality of our internal systems as a means to fuel our bodies and support our “best” most balanced lives.
What should I eat?
In addition to SUPERFREE goods on the regular, of course, it is widely accepted that generally you should eat foods that are whole, minimally processed, and mostly of plant origin. Also organic and from small regenerative farming systems wherever possible. Beyond that, eating seasonally and locally where you can, as consciously as you can (sourcing matters!), and according to your own body’s particular needs and energy outputs are all important as well. We focus here on highly anti-inflammatory ingredients and processes, as well as lifestyle choices, all of which are advisable for anyone living in our modern western high-stimulus fast-track world and thus subject to inflammatory agents acutely and chronically, dietarily and socially. There’s a lot more detail to go into of course so keep an eye out (follow us on instagram @superfreefood and subscribe to our newsletter!) for more resources and tools coming to our site soon, such as anti-inflammatory recipe books and meal plans, etc!
What do you mean by "raw"?
Technically, a raw food is one which has not been heated to above 118 degrees F, therefore its proteins and fats and chemical structures have not been denatured by that process and it maintains virtues closer to that which were intended by nature. The idea is that the raw version of an ingredient upholds its integrity providing a less adulterated and literally more “alive” source of nourishment. There are methods to gently “cook” or process ingredients while maintaining their raw status that function to make them more bioavailable (i.e. nutrients made more accessible by our body’s systems / more digestible!) such as fermenting, or soaking and grinding, some of which we intentionally utilize in making our goods. We by no means promote an entirely raw diet nor deny that it can truly work well for some, though typically it’s found that an entirely raw diet is best for an intentional or “reset” period of time versus all the time, as is the case inherently with any extreme endeavor. Often intentionally cooked foods are easier on our systems and easier to break down in our gut, in particular. There’s a reason we humans first started to cook foods, not only to make nutrients more or even at all accessible (think of eating a raw potato, no thanks!), but also safer. Plant foods often have natural barriers, which protect them in the wild and allow their species to survive and successfully evolve through generations (there’s often a toxic exterior coating on seeds to deter predators and endure varying environments, for example) but these same barriers can also be harsh on our systems. Our objective is not to preach any particular diet or adaptation, only to provide some knowledge and empowering resources here and first and foremost food that you can actually eat that actually makes you feel good, and sustainably at that! We obviously could nerd out on the nutrition side of things all day, (we will probably write books on this at some point), but again look out for more resources and learning tools coming to the site soon!
I or my loved one was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune/inflammatory disease or condition, what do I eat?
This of course is a case by case answer, but overall our foods are meant to be not only friendly but actively healing for these situations, especially when it comes to gut health. We aim to keep our goods approachable and extra delicious so nobody feels like they're missing out, especially when confronting new dietary restrictions. We’re here for you! Keep a lookout for more resources popping up on our site and book a initial Holistic Nutritional Counseling session with founder Madeline Lee – feel free to reach out to inquire about your particular needs. This is what we do and why we do it, we would love to hear from you.
