Đạt Butter – technology of peanut cultivation and peanut butter production – what’s special?

In agricultural production, farming method is one of the “secrets” that makes a difference in the quality of agricultural products. With the aim to ensure that peanuts are grown completely naturally, Đạt Butter has applied effective peanut tree growing techniques from planting to harvesting as well as standard production process.

With the sharing and supervision of Đạt Butter in supporting the planting techniques, the quality of agricultural products are ensured. Nowadays, the process of growing peanuts naturally in households is carried out by the method of using biological products from nature to fully meet the nutritional requirements of peanut plants and prevent some pests and diseases.

1. Outline of planting and harvesting process

Peanut tree is a short-term industrial plant, suitable for rotation, soil improvement and commercial value. Peanut is a familiar food, rich in protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Natural planting technique is a method of limiting soil improvement, limiting interference with the natural development of plants. For Đạt Foods, to achieve green and clean peanuts in enough quality, farmers have to use a completely natural method of growing peanut.

The average crop of peanut is about 90 days including soil preparation, sowing, fertilization and harvesting. During the care process, farmers are encouraged to use natural biological products to provide nutrients to the plants. Some of the materials used are Powdered Lime, Van Dien Phosphate Fertilizer, Trichoderma, Kitchen Ash, Eggshell, Humic Acid Fertilizer and chicken manure composted with EM, green and brown materials.

2. Peanut butter production process

In order to produce peanut butter products displayed at stores associated with Đạt Foods, peanuts must go through many standard processes. After harvesting, peanuts will be treated and controlled with standard factors before implementing the peanut butter production process.

Peanut butter has the ability to provide energy like carbs, protein, and fat, moreover, it’s high in vitamins and minerals including Vitamins E, B3 and B6. Peanut butter also contains minerals such as folate, manganese, magnesium and iron with levels that are good for health. In addition, peanuts contain many antioxidants including p-coumaric acid which may reduce the risk of stomach cancer.

From the above advantages, Đạt Foods has created a completely natural product from peanuts, in order to keep the healthy nutritious components that peanuts bring.

Below is a schematic summary of the production process for natural smooth or cruchy peanut butter, one of the commercially available products.

3. 3 ‘NO’ in peanut farming process

 The process of growing peanuts of Đạt Foods follows the complete principles: No chemical fertilizers, No pesticides, No herbicides pre and while cultivating.

No chemical fertilizers: For a long time, farmers have been familiar with the traditional way of cultivating peanuts using chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth as well as to get benefit in preventing pests and diseases. Therefore, in order to change the new perception about clean planting, Đạt Foods has tried to support the knowledge about the usage of natural products to replace inorganic fertilizers.

No Pesticides: Pesticide is one of the quick and effective methods of getting rid of pests. Being worried about the creatures that harm the peanut plants and reduce the yield, the farmers used pesticides inappropriately, which leads to consequences affecting the surrounding environment, mutant varieties, and especially adverse effects on human health. Đạt Foods requires farmers to cultivate seasonally and follow the principles of rotation of crops to control harmful pests.

No herbicides pre and while cultivating: Weeding with tools at sapling and rooting at the flowering period are two of the solutions done by farmer households to control weeds.

4. 5 “Golden” Criteria in Peanut Butter Production Process

– Storage: The process of preserving peanuts at Đạt Foods is very elaborate, factors such as environment, humidity, temperature, and air will be checked regularly to avoid the case that substandard seeds are put into production. As soon as peanut butter is available, the product will be carefully preserved.

– Disinfection: Tools, machinery, as well as jars are disinfected by advanced methods to eliminate factors affecting product quality.

– Quality assurance: The production will always be carefully checked from the storage and preservation of seeds to the stages of grinding, smoothing, and getting product. Thanks for the all-natural production using high-tech machinery, peanut butter can keep its nutritious quality.

Therefore, Đạt Foods was born and brought many useful values: Transferring completely natural peanut farming techniques to farmers to help them improve their income and quality of life; at the same time, Đạt Foods brings to consumers products that are extremely nutritious to build up a healthy life.
