Alhamdulillah, it has been a full year since we started sharing our artisan breads with all of you! Our anniversary was on 11 August, and though we just missed the exact date, we are so grateful for your support and love.
To celebrate this milestone, we are sharing a special promotion soon, insha Allah! This is our way of thanking you for being part of our journey. Every bite you enjoy motivates us to keep creating with love.
Looking Ahead
Each of our bread is handmade in small batches to ensure freshness and quality. Unlike large commercial bakeries that can produce hundreds at once, every loaf we make reflects our time, effort, and love.
Starting in September 2025, we will be revising the prices of some of our breads to reflect changes in ingredient costs and to ensure we continue delivering the quality you love.
As an example the cost of whole wheat flour has increased by 15% since 2024. For Multiseed & Multigrain breads, we realized that the costs of the grains and seeds were not fully included in our previous calculations. This was a calculation oversight, and the updated price now accurately reflects the ingredients while maintaining the quality you expect. For Seeded Rye Bread & Poppy Seed Bread, the price will be reduced to RM14 — the same as our other multiseed and multigrain breads — so more people can enjoy them at a lower price.

Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea drink made with tea, sugar, and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). It’s naturally fizzy, a little tangy, and can be flavoured with fruits, herbs or spices during bottling. Some people love it for the taste, others for the probiotics and potential health benefits.
The Fizzy Fruity Kombucha
🧫 What does the SCOBY do?
SCOBY stands for “Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast.”
The yeast in the SCOBY converts sugar into ethanol (a natural alcohol).
Then the bacteria transform that ethanol into acetic acid, giving kombucha its signature tang and acidity.
Together, they create the balanced, tangy flavour of kombucha and prevent harmful microbes from growing.
🧪 How is Kombucha Made?
Kombucha is made in two fermentation stages:
First Fermentation (F1):
F1 Kombucha using Thai Red Tea with multiple SCOBY used during fermentation
Brewed black or green tea is sweetened with sugar.
A SCOBY is added to start the fermentation process.
Yeast in the SCOBY breaks down the sugar into alcohol.
Then, bacteria convert that alcohol into acetic acid, creating the tangy taste.
F1 usually lasts 5–14 days depending on room temperature and taste preference.
Second Fermentation (F2):
Once F1 is done, the kombucha is bottled and flavoured with fruits, juices or herbs.
Raw F2 Kombucha Flavored with Handcrafted Raspberry Lemon Jam
The remaining yeast consumes the natural sugars in the flavouring, producing carbonation.
F2 lasts about 1–5 days at room temperature to build fizz, then chilled in the fridge.
🌿 Health Benefits
Kombucha has been consumed for centuries, and many people enjoy it for how it makes them feel. Some potential benefits based on its ingredients and fermentation process include:
Probiotics – Naturally occurring from the fermentation process, which may support gut health.
Antioxidants – Especially when brewed with green or black tea, which naturally contain antioxidants.
Lower-sugar alternative – When properly fermented, kombucha is much lower in sugar than most sodas.
Refreshing hydration – Many find it a satisfying fizzy alternative to sugary drinks.
But do keep in mind: 👉 Kombucha is not a cure for any disease. 👉 Benefits can vary from person to person. 👉 Those with health conditions or sensitivities (e.g. pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems) should consult their doctor before consuming.
Like many Sunnah foods (such as honey, vinegar, and black seed), kombucha reminds us that Allah has placed healing in many natural things, but it’s important to consume them in moderation. “Eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.” — Surah Al-A’raf, 7:31
As always, consume with balance and gratitude — and praise Allah for the rizq He provides us.
🧯 Is it safe to drink?
Yes — kombucha is generally safe for healthy individuals when it’s brewed and stored properly.
During fermentation, kombucha produces beneficial acids and a small amount of alcohol (usually below 0.5% — about the same as ripe fruit or kefir). One of the reasons it’s considered safe is its low pH, usually between 2.5 and 3.8, which creates an acidic environment that naturally prevents harmful bacteria from growing — similar to vinegar or lemon juice.
We take cleanliness seriously at every stage, using only sanitized tools and jars. We also make sure the pH stays safely below 4.0, and it usually drops even further by the end of fermentation, ensuring your brew stays safe and refreshing.
You might also spot some natural sediment settling at the bottom, or tiny floaties swirling around. Don’t panic — it’s usually from the yeast, real fruit used during brewing, or even a little baby SCOBY forming. These are all signs your kombucha is alive and kickin’ — raw, unfiltered, and full of beneficial goodness, just as nature intended.
Prefer a clean pour? Just go slow and leave the bits behind.
Feeling adventurous? Give it a gentle swirl and enjoy the full experience.
⚠️ Kombucha may not be suitable for:
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
Anyone with a weakened immune system.
Those sensitive to caffeine or acidic drinks.
As mentioned in Al-Quran:
“Do not throw yourselves into destruction with your own hands, but do good; for Allah loves those who do good.” — Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:195
So if you’re new to kombucha, start with small amounts (like 100ml a day), and see how your body responds — insha Allah.
❓ Is it halal?
This is one of the most common questions I get — and rightfully so. As a Muslim myself, I take this seriously too.
“Eat of what is lawful and good that Allah has provided for you.” — Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:88)
Yes, kombucha can be halal, as long as it’s brewed and consumed correctly.
During fermentation, a small amount of natural alcohol (usually under 0.5%) may form — this is similar to what naturally occurs in ripe fruits, fruit juice, or bread dough. It’s not brewed to intoxicate, and it’s definitely not enough to cause any kind of drunkenness.
According to the majority of Islamic scholars, a drink is still halal if:
It does not intoxicate,
The alcohol content remains below 0.5%,
And it’s not made with the intention of producing alcohol.
At Going Nuts, I brew kombucha with care and intention — not for alcohol, but for its low sugar content, gut-friendly probiotics, natural fizz, and refreshing, tangy flavour. As a small-batch home brewer, I manage each brew personally — from start to finish — keeping fermentation time in check and closely monitoring pH levels to ensure it stays in a safe, low-acid range.
While we don’t have a halal certificate (as we’re not a certified facility), I take extra care to brew with amanah — staying mindful of ingredients, cleanliness, and fermentation limits — so that every bottle is made with halal and tayyib principles, insha Allah.
I’m also working towards tracking sugar levels and ABV% (alcohol by volume) soon, to offer even more transparency and peace of mind for my customers. Throughout the process, I uphold strict hygiene practices, because for me, it’s not just about making a good drink — it’s about offering something that you can trust and enjoy with confidence.
First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support over the years. Your love for our Raya cookies has been the driving force behind our commitment to delivering premium quality treats that bring joy to your celebrations.
Since we started in 2021, we have proudly maintained our prices despite the increasing cost of raw materials and rising operational expenses, including the implementation of minimum wages. For the past four years, we have absorbed these costs to ensure that you continue enjoying the same delicious cookies without any compromise in quality. However, in order to remain competitive while maintaining the high standards that define our brand, we now find it necessary to revise our pricing.
Why the Price Revision?
The cost of essential baking ingredients has significantly increased over the years. As we use only premium ingredients—such as pure grass-fed butter, omega-3 eggs, brown sugar, and Himalayan salt—our production costs have risen accordingly. Among these, the highest price hike has been in pure cocoa powder, which has increased 2.5 times in price compared to before and has become increasingly scarce in supply. To illustrate this, we will be sharing a comparison of some of the raw material prices from 2021 to 2025 so you can see the changes firsthand.

When it comes to wholesome, flavorful, and nutritious bread, ancient grains like spelt and bulgur are making a comeback. These grains offer a healthier alternative to modern wheat, providing better digestibility, richer nutrients, and a more complex flavor profile. Whether you’re a home baker or someone looking for a healthier daily bread option, understanding the benefits of spelt and bulgur can help you make better choices
Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Unlike modern wheat, which has been extensively modified for high yields, spelt has remained closer to its original form. This makes it a more nutrient-dense and digestible grain.
✅ Easier to Digest – The gluten in spelt is more delicate, making it easier to break down. Some people with mild gluten sensitivities find it more tolerable than modern wheat.
✅ Higher in Nutrients – Spelt contains more protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc compared to refined wheat.
✅ Naturally Sweet & Nutty – Spelt has a mild sweetness and nutty undertones that enhance the depth of flavor in bread.
✅ Soft & Rustic Texture – Due to its high water absorption, spelt creates a lighter, more tender crumb, while still giving an artisanal feel to bread.
Bulgur is a cracked, partially cooked wheat grain commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. Brown bulgur, in particular, offers an earthier, nuttier flavor and pairs exceptionally well with spelt.
✅ Rich in Fiber – Brown bulgur is high in dietary fiber, supporting digestion and keeping you full longer.
✅ Adds Texture & Heartiness – When incorporated into bread, bulgur creates a subtle chewiness, enhancing the bread’s texture.
✅ Balanced Nutrients – Bulgur provides a good mix of complex carbohydrates, protein, and essential minerals, making it a fantastic addition to a balanced diet.

Bread has been a staple food for centuries, but when it comes to choosing between wholemeal and white bread, many people wonder: which one is better for your health? While both have their place in the kitchen, the real question is—what does your body truly need? Let’s break it down.
Wholemeal Bread: Made from whole grains, whole meal bread retains the bran, germ, and endosperm, making it rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
White Bread: Processed to remove the bran and germ, white bread is softer but lacks many of the nutrients found in wholemeal bread. However, some varieties are enriched with vitamins and minerals.

Health Benefits of Wholemeal Bread
Wholemeal Bread
Better Digestion: The high fiber content promotes gut health and prevents constipation.
Long-Lasting Energy: Slow-releasing carbohydrates keep you fuller for longer.
Heart Health: Whole grains are linked to lower cholesterol and reduced risk of heart disease.
Weight Management: Helps with satiety and reduces cravings for unhealthy snacks.
When White Bread Might Be a Better Choice?
Tiger Bread Sandwiches
While wholemeal bread is nutritionally superior, white bread has its own benefits, especially for:
Children & Active Individuals: Kids and those with high energy needs benefit from white bread’s quick-digesting carbs, which provide fast fuel for play, school, and sports.
People with Sensitive Stomachs: White bread is easier to digest, making it a good option for those recovering from digestive issues.
Athletes: Before or after workouts, quick energy from white bread can be beneficial.
For overall health, wholemeal bread is the best choice due to its fiber, essential nutrients, and lower impact on blood sugar. However, white bread isn’t necessarily “bad”—it just serves a different purpose. For kids, athletes, or those needing quick energy, white bread can be a useful option.
At the end of the day, balance is key—a mix of both breads can work depending on your needs. What’s your favorite type of bread? Let me know in the comments!

What Makes Multigrain Bread Special?
Multigrain bread combines various grains—such as oats, rye, spelt, quinoa, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds—creating a nutritional powerhouse.

Higher Fiber Content: Supports digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.
Better Nutritional Value: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Lower Glycemic Index: Helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it ideal for diabetics.
Why Whole Grains Are the Star of the Show
Whole grains are unprocessed, preserving all their natural goodness. This makes them superior to refined grains in many ways:
Heart Health: Studies show that whole grains reduce cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of heart disease.
Weight Management: High in fiber, they promote satiety and help control overeating.
Boosted Immunity: Packed with B vitamins, iron, and zinc, whole grains strengthen your immune system.

Gluten-free bread is bread made without gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Instead of traditional flours, gluten-free bread is often made with ingredients like rice flour, almond flour, or tapioca starch. The absence of gluten, which gives bread its elasticity and chewy texture, means that gluten-free bread has a different texture—often denser and more crumbly than traditional bread.
Who Should Consume Gluten-Free Bread?
People with Celiac Disease Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. For people with celiac disease, avoiding gluten is essential to prevent long-term health complications.
Individuals with Gluten Sensitivity Some people may not have celiac disease but still experience discomfort after consuming gluten. This is called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which can cause symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or headaches. For these individuals, a gluten-free diet might ease these symptoms.
Those with Wheat Allergies People allergic to wheat can benefit from gluten-free bread since it removes a common allergen. However, they need to ensure that the bread doesn’t contain wheat-based ingredients.
Benefits of Gluten-Free Bread
Improved Digestion For those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, removing gluten from the diet can lead to better digestion, reduced bloating, and relief from stomach pain.
Increased Nutrient Absorption Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can interfere with nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies in iron, calcium, and other essential vitamins. Switching to gluten-free bread allows the gut to heal, improving nutrient absorption over time.
Less Inflammation Gluten can contribute to inflammation in people with sensitivities, potentially causing joint pain and fatigue. A gluten-free diet may help reduce these inflammatory responses, leading to increased energy and better overall health.
Better Skin Health Some individuals notice improvements in skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis after eliminating gluten from their diet. This is particularly true for people whose gluten sensitivity contributes to inflammatory skin reactions.
Our Gluten-Free Bread Options
At Going Nuts, we offer two delicious gluten-free bread options, catering to different dietary preferences:
1. Vegan Rustic Gluten-Free Bread This rustic-style bread is made using a blend of buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, and psyllium husk. It offers a texture similar to traditional bread with a hearty and wholesome flavor, perfect for those who want a vegan-friendly option without compromising on taste or texture.
This vegan gluten-free bread has a dough texture almost similar to traditional bread due to the usage of psyllium husk which helps to bind the flour
2. Egg and Dairy-based Gluten-Free Bread For a softer, more moist version, we use brown rice flour, potato starch, egg, milk and xanthan gum which as the binding agent to compensate for the absence of gluten. This version is ideal for those who are looking for a gluten-free option but don’t mind including animal products in their diet. It’s perfect for sandwiches or as a side to your favorite meals.
This gluten-free bread incorporate egg and milk with xanthan gum as binding agent creating a batter-like dough, giving the bread a soft and moist texture
Whether you’re vegan or simply looking for a gluten-free alternative with a softer texture, we’ve got you covered!
Conclusion
While gluten-free bread is a necessity for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, others may also benefit from trying it, particularly if they experience digestive discomfort or chronic inflammation. With an increasing variety of delicious and healthy gluten-free options available, making the switch can be both satisfying and beneficial.
Whether you’re dealing with a specific health issue or just looking to try new types of bread, gluten-free options provide a great way to experiment with your diet while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
As parents, ensuring our children have a balanced and nutritious diet is a top priority. Kids need essential nutrients to support their growth, development, and overall well-being. One food item that has gained popularity as a wholesome option for kids is natural peanut butter. Packed with nutrients and free from additives, natural peanut butter can play a vital role in meeting children’s dietary needs. Let’s explore the benefits of incorporating this delightful spread into kids’ diets.
1. Protein Powerhouse
Protein is a crucial building block for a child’s growing body. Natural peanut butter is an excellent source of plant-based protein, providing a healthy boost to muscle development and overall growth. Whether it’s spread on whole-grain bread or paired with fruits, peanut butter can be a valuable addition to breakfast or snack time to support their active lifestyle.
2. Healthy Fats for Brain Development
Growing brains require healthy fats to support cognitive development. Natural peanut butter contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health. These fats not only aid in brain development but also contribute to overall heart health in kids.

3. Essential Vitamins and Minerals
Peanuts are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are vital for a child’s health. They are a good source of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant, protecting their cells from damage. Peanut butter also contains B-vitamins like niacin and folate, which play a role in energy metabolism and cell growth.
4. Energy and Satiety
Kids are constantly on the move, and they need energy to fuel their activities. Natural peanut butter is energy-dense, providing a quick and convenient source of sustained energy. Its combination of protein, healthy fats, and fiber can also help keep kids feeling full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of unhealthy snacking between meals.

5. Building Strong Bones
Peanut butter contains essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which are crucial for building strong bones and supporting proper muscle function. As kids go through growth spurts, ensuring they get adequate amounts of these minerals can contribute to their bone health in the long run.
6. Antioxidant Protection
Peanuts contain various antioxidants, including resveratrol, which have been associated with health benefits. These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases in the future.
7. Versatility in the Kitchen
One of the best aspects of natural peanut butter is its versatility. Kids might enjoy it on sandwiches, with fruits and veggies, or even as a dip for whole-grain crackers. It can also be used in smoothies or as a base for kid-friendly sauces and dressings, making it a convenient ingredient for parents when creating nutritious meals.
Allergies and Precautions
While natural peanut butter can be a wholesome option for many kids, it’s essential to be mindful of potential allergies. Peanut allergies are common, and if your child has a history of allergies or sensitivities, it’s best to consult with a pediatrician before introducing peanut butter into their diet. Additionally, be cautious of choking hazards, especially for young children, by spreading peanut butter thinly and avoiding large spoonfuls.
Conclusion
Natural peanut butter can be a delightful and nutritious addition to kids’ diets. Its protein content, healthy fats, and essential nutrients make it an excellent choice to support their growth and development. When combined with a variety of other wholesome foods, peanut butter can contribute to a balanced and enjoyable diet for kids of all ages.
As with any dietary change, it’s crucial to consider individual needs and preferences. If you have any concerns or questions about incorporating peanut butter into your child’s diet, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a pediatrician or a registered dietitian. With responsible consumption and mindful meal planning, natural peanut butter can be a wholesome option that kids will love and benefit from in their journey towards a healthy and happy childhood.
When it comes to fueling the body for athletic performance, athletes and fitness enthusiasts are constantly seeking nutritious and delicious options. Among the plethora of choices, natural peanut butter has emerged as a go-to snack for many due to its rich nutritional profile and convenience. Packed with essential nutrients and offering a quick energy boost, peanut butter has become a favorite among those looking to enhance their athletic performance. In this article, we explore the reasons why peanut butter has gained popularity as a sports snack and how it can be a valuable addition to an athlete’s diet.
1. A Nutrient Powerhouse
Peanut butter is a nutritional powerhouse, providing a balanced combination of macronutrients and micronutrients. It is an excellent source of protein, which is essential for muscle repair and recovery after strenuous exercise. Additionally, peanut butter contains healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which provide a sustained source of energy during physical activity.
Moreover, peanut butter is rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which play crucial roles in maintaining overall health and supporting optimal athletic performance.
2. Energy Boost and Satiety
Athletes require an adequate supply of energy to perform at their best during workouts and competitions. Peanut butter is a calorie-dense food that provides a quick and efficient energy boost. The combination of healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates in peanut butter helps sustain energy levels, preventing fatigue and supporting endurance.
Furthermore, the high protein and fiber content of peanut butter contribute to a feeling of satiety, making it a satisfying snack that can help athletes manage their hunger between meals.
3. Post-Workout Recovery
After intense physical activity, the body needs to recover and repair muscle tissues. The protein content in peanut butter aids in muscle recovery, helping athletes bounce back faster from their workouts and reducing the risk of injury.
Combining peanut butter with carbohydrate-rich foods like whole-grain bread or a banana after a workout can create an ideal post-exercise snack. The carbohydrates replenish glycogen stores, while the protein in peanut butter supports muscle repair, promoting a quicker recovery process.
4. Convenient and Portable
For athletes with busy training schedules or those who are constantly on the go, the convenience of peanut butter cannot be overstated. It requires no refrigeration, is easy to carry in a jar or single-serve packets, and can be paired with a variety of foods, such as fruit, crackers, or rice cakes.
Its versatility allows athletes to enjoy it as a quick pre-workout snack or a post-workout refuel, making it a practical option to meet their nutritional needs.

5. Affordable Option
While some specialized sports supplements can be costly, peanut butter offers a budget-friendly alternative to support athletic performance. Compared to many other protein-rich snacks or supplements, natural peanut butter provides a cost-effective option for athletes to meet their nutritional requirements without breaking the bank.
6. Allergy-Friendly Protein
Peanut butter is a suitable option for athletes who have dairy or lactose intolerances or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. It serves as a valuable source of plant-based protein, making it an inclusive choice for athletes with diverse dietary preferences.
Conclusion
As athletes continue to seek wholesome and effective ways to fuel their bodies, natural peanut butter has earned its place as a go-to snack for athletic performance. With its impressive nutritional profile, convenient portability, and affordability, peanut butter provides a winning combination of essential nutrients and energy that can support athletes in their training and competitions.
However, it’s essential to remember that peanut butter is calorie-dense, so portion control is crucial, especially for those with specific calorie or weight management goals. As with any dietary change, athletes should consult with a qualified sports nutritionist or dietitian to tailor their diet to their individual needs and optimize their performance and overall well-being.
