Since we are all about living healthy lifestyles without sacrifice, we’re going to let you in on a little secret:

Wholesome living doesn’t have to be costly or inconvenient.

It’s true! Having trouble finding your favorite natural foods products in your area code? No problem. You don’t have to travel miles and miles out of your way just to find a specific brand or product. Look for your favorite natural brands, like Jeff’s Naturals, on Vitacost.com!

Vitacost.com is a leading online retailer of healthy living products, including dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and other botanicals, amino acids and metabolites, as well as cosmetics, organic body and personal care products, pet products, sports nutrition and health foods.

Here’s the kicker: you won’t spend more when you shop on Vitacost.com, in fact, you just might save money…..AND they deliver them to your door. We aren’t saying not to support your local natural foods retailer (local businesses = better communities), but if this is not an option for you due to distance or lack of time, Vitacost is a great alternative.

Jeff’s Naturals Celebrates 2 Year Anniversary by Launching New Products!

March 21, 2014Company News, ProductsAntipasto, Olives, Peperoncini, Sliced Tamed™ Jalapeños, Tamed Jalapeno PeppersJeff's Naturals

It’s been a great year for Jeff’s Naturals! We were elated to learn that we are now the #1 olive brand in the natural channel* and the #2 brand in peppers!

How did we celebrate?

Well, we threw one heck of a cocktail party at Natural Products Expo West earlier this month, but we are also celebrating by introducing TWO new products to our line of all natural pantry staples.

Meet the newest members of the Jeff’s Naturals family:

Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto
Need an instant appetizer? Our new Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto is perfect for snacking! This colorful combination of large green olives, tangy peperoncini, rich red bell peppers and fresh, savory garlic is sure to be a hit at your next party, on a salad, or on the go! This new addition is a “must-have” for any antipasto platter.

Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers
To say that our fans rave about our Sliced Tamed Jalapeños would be an understatement! Due to popular demand, we are happy to introduce our Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers! Use them on sandwiches, nachos, pizzas, omelets and dips like this Supreme Artichoke Dip for a bit of “zing” without the burn!

These yummy hybrid peppers were created exclusively for us by horticulturists at Texas A&M University by combining traditional jalapeño peppers with bell peppers to create a proprietary “harmless” jalapeño. The result? A pleasant pepper flavor with much less heat. Our peppers are sourced in California and packed within 24-hours of harvest so you can enjoy the freshest taste possible!

Like all of our products, these two new additions are all natural and contain no sulfites or artificial anything. Just fresh, clean ingredients and remarkable taste. The Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto and Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers are also certified Non-GMO, Vegan and Gluten Free. Click here to learn more about our certifications!

Got questions? Feel free to post them on our Facebook page, we are always checking! You can also email your questions to consumerinfo@jeffsnaturals.com . Be sure to ask your favorite natural foods store about these new products so you can try them for yourself!

A record breaking crowd of 67,000 people, including our team, gathered in Anaheim CA last weekend to hear, see and taste the very latest and greatest in the natural products industry at the Natural Products Expo West, the world’s largest natural products trade-show!

It was fun to see old friends and meet lots of new faces as we introduced our line of all natural pantry staples. We joined almost 3,000 other exhibitors for three days of presentations, meetings and samplings.

It was quite noticeable this year that the non-GMO movement is really taking hold and influencing the food choices consumers make, and we are proud to be among the exhibitors that are non-GMO certified. Jeff’s Naturals had an extremely successful showing at the expo, in fact, people flocked to our booth just to sample our products! Nice to see so many olive and pepper lovers out there!

One of our highlights of course was our very popular Bloody Mary Bar we co-hosted with Lakewood Juice with generous support from Tillen Farms on Saturday.

Guests who stopped by our booth were treated to a yummy Bloody Mary made with Lakewood Organic Super Veggie Juice and garnished Tillen Farms Gourmet Green Beans, Asparagus and an assortment of our stuffed olives including Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives, Feta Cheese Stuffed Olives, Garlic Stuffed Olives or Jalapeño Stuffed Olives.

Needless to say, our cocktail party was a big hit. A big thanks goes out to Lakewood Juice and Tillen Farms for working with us! What fun we had!

Our executive chef made a very delicious appetizer with our BRAND NEW Diced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers to go with the cocktails, stay tuned for the recipe! If you missed it, click here for our “dern good Bloody Mary” recipe so you can enjoy one for yourself!!
