Nourishing People and Planet
Nutiva is an innovative leader in the health food industry. Since 1999 we have operated as a values-driven company dedicated to nourishing people and planet. Nutiva’s purpose is to produce the highest quality organic superfoods, providing superior nutritional value to the customers while supporting sustainable agricultural practices and a fair return to the farmers on whom they depend.
At Nutiva they continually innovate so that they can better contribute to the health and happiness of their customers as well as the sustainability of our planet. Nutiva began in 1999 as an idea in the mind of John W. Roulac, the author of four books on home composting and industrial hemp. Nutiva is the third successful business John has founded since jumpstarting the modern home-composting movement in the early 1990s with his best-selling book, Backyard Composting. That book has sold more than a million copies worldwide. Nutiva was one of the first food companies to place the Non-GMO (Genetically Modifed Organism) symbol on its labels. Nutiva uses the finest organic ingredients, grown without pesticides and herbicides. Hempseed and hemp food products have an appealing nutty flavor and are a rich source of omega-3, vitamin E, protein, and GLA.
