Philosopher Foods
Philosopher Foods was born from a passion for food, philosophy, and activism. Our founder, Tim, sought a meaningful way to align his values with his vocation. His journey led him to sprouting and fermenting nuts, unlocking deeper nutrition and flavor while supporting regenerative agriculture.
It all started in a cooperative house in Davis, California, where Tim experimented with sprouted almonds and created the best Almond Butter he and his housemates had ever tasted. Encouraged by their enthusiasm and the passage of the California Homemade Food Act, he launched the business from his home kitchen. What started as a small cottage operation has grown into our dedicated production space in Santa Rosa, where we continue to craft our unique products today.

Addictively snackable
Up 7x increase in B vitamins over raw nuts
Packed with nutrients: 8-9x more antioxidants
More digestible and bioavailable
Fermented almonds and cashews are more nutritious, digestible, and bioavailable, with fewer anti-nutrients, toxins, and agricultural pollutants than unfermented nuts. Rich in prebiotics and postbiotics, they promote a healthier gut and overall well-being. They pop with a satisfying crunch with savory, tangy, and salty flavors that explode in your mouth.
"Creating Gut Nuts was a happy snaccident that turned into a passion project. I discovered that fermenting almonds not only enhanced their flavor but also made them incredibly nutritious and easy to digest. My goal was to offer a snack that delights the taste buds and supports gut health. Enjoy my creation!" - Tim, Founder
