How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

Try the real PB, do as suggested in this thread and you will be in for a treat. It's that good.

My wife mostly stocks Richard's 100% peanuts. Is that "real" enough?



Not terrible, but I still prefer the "fake" stuff I grew up on in the 1970's / 1980's. Maybe my palette is just too uneducated.

Richards at 100% sounds like a winner.

We've been eating Richard's for years, won't touch anything else.

Almond butter separates also.

Since we're new to using almond butter, I discovered that recently. No need to put jar in warm water, just open, mix for 20 seconds and it's wonderful.

Since we're new to using almond butter...

Now that we've diverged from peanut butter, this seems like an appropriate place for some Professor Nut Butter:

It was maybe 18 years ago. It was first breakfast on a week long commercial rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. I sometimes like peanut butter and strawberry jelly on toast. Guide hands me a jar. I open it up and thought it was old. They said no its' natural just needs stirring. I've bought natural peanut butter ever since.

My Mom never let peanut butter in her house. She didn't think it was good for us kids. First taste of PB was when I went to college.

NOW - That white axle grease in the plastic bag with the yellow capsule. My father would not allow it on the table. He had to have real butter. I think he found out about the "white stuff" when he was in the army. Squeezing the bag was a job for us kids.

For some reason, probably because it was cheap, I've had peanut butter since a little kid. Here are some reasons why 100% PB is good for you.

Almond butter separates also.

We just started eating almond butter and discovered it mixes easier and even better than peanut butter. I did put the new jar into warm water for an hour and it mixed up quickly and tasted great.

Almond butter is less dense so I could imagine doing a second mix when you get to the half way of the jar and it would air up the bottom half for easier eating.

Almond butter--and to a lesser degree peanut butter have many nutritional benefits and can improve your cholesterol numbers and heart health.

Yep, I have an adult niece who went into anaphylaxis at a restaurant and nearly died due to a trace of peanuts in one dish, an appetizer or soup, I think. Very scary stuff. I think about that every time I hear the phrase "There's nothing not good about peanut butter." And I love peanut butter!

Thank goodness we're all more educated about nut allergies, and the risks they pose. I saw a report a year or so ago about a protocol for desensitizing some folks to the allergy. James, you probably already know about it. I think this was the clinical trial: New treatment may offer hope for peanut allergy - CNN.com

My wife is deathly allergic to peanuts, and I just had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch.
