Peanut Butter

With two tropical storms headed for the Gulf of Mexico I went out last night and bought some food that does not need refrigeration and peanut butter was one of them. As a late night snack I spread some on a piece of bread and it was delicious. I have not eaten peanut butter since the last hurricane before Harvey. This morning I spread some on my pancakes. Some of the brands on the shelf were three times the price of Skippy. I will never know if they are worth their price.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Great stuff. The crunchy peanut butter. Elvis Presley favorite .
 
I also like peanut butter. But I only eat the versions with only 2 ingredients - peanuts & salt.
The type that stays mixed without stirring & refrigeration does that by adding Hydrogenated Oil, which is not so good for arteries.
 

There's only one peanut butter I will buy, and that is ADAMS.

It's 100% peanuts, nothing else. No salt, no sugar, no nothing, just peanuts.

All other peanut butter is chemical filled garbage.

They really don't put many chemicals in peanut butter. It's kind of self preserving .
The jar I have has zero vitamins as well. I see the Adams on the shelves. But a jar lasts me a long time unrefrigerated.
 
For Aunt Marg, you can get the SuperStore’s Blue Menu Just Peanuts. That’s my brand of choice, though Kraft & some store brands also have a peanut-only choice.

It did take me a while to adjust to years of PB with sugar, etc. Now I can’t tolerate them.

Well, as the old saying goes, you learn something new everyday.

I had not a clue other brands offered a 100% peanut butter choice with no additives and/or garbage ingredients.

Will take a close look next time I'm shopping. Thanks for the mention, Jules!

That's the other reason for hydrogenation. It extends the shelf life.

Laura Scudder's is also good - Only ingredients are peanuts & salt. And an unsalted version if you prefer.

From your link. The killer is Trans fats.
So I'm holding a jar of Jif peanut butter in my hot little hands and the ingredients say zero Trans fat.

I looked up Jif. Looks like they came out with a new "Jif Natural" version; probably after people became informed. Interesting that some reviews complained about "A bunch of oil on top of the peanut butter," LOL. No trans fat because they don't hydrogenate that version. Well, that's better, but I don't need Palm Oil, Molasses or Sugar in my peanut butter.
 
I make my own. Usually I'll mix dry roasted no added salt and home roasted plain spanish peanuts. We don't make it all that often, and usually when I'm going to use the processor for something else that day.

I forgot to mention that I never really cared for peanut butter as a kid. When I was about 18 or 19 a friend of mine had gotten some natural , just peanuts and salt, from a health food store. That's when I found out I did like peanut butter, not that stuff from the grocery store though.

I also sometimes make peanut butter in my Vitamix. But that cleanup.........
 
S'mores made with a schmear of peanut butter or peanut butter cups are great comfort food when you are alone in the dark after a hurricane or just home on a Saturday night watching Svengoolie.

Even the non hydrogenated peanut butter lasts a long time on the shelf.
The real reason to hydrogenate because it's a proper bit.. h to stir it up . In the good old days I used to just turn the jar upside down. But I enjoy the easy spread now and I'm close to 90 so I think it might be preserving me as well.

Same as me, I don't need all of the other nonsense ingredients in it.
