nut butters

[Guest guest]

I like soy nut butter better than peanut butter.

 

A good thing has happened in our neighborhood (Sarasota, Florida) recently.

Publix (big supermarket chain here) has started this " Green Market " section, I

think it is called, and it includes an assortment of other nut butters. Has

anyone tried others, and what did you think?

 

They also have almond milk. I have tried the chocolate and vanilla and LOVE them

both! My cow milk drinking husband doesn't share my opinion though.

Here is what it says on the packages: (for 2 TBSP serving of each)

Peanut butter (Jif creamy)-

calories 190, fat 16 g, saturated fat 3g, cholesterol 0 mg, docium 150 mg, carbs

7g, fiber 2g, sufar 3g, protein 8g

 

Soy Nut butter (I.M. Healthy, creamy)

calories 170, fat 11 g, sat fat 1.5g, cholesterol 0 mg, socium 170 mg, carbs

10g, fiber 1g, sugars 3g, protein 8g.

 

Almond butter (Maranatha, chunky, roasted, unsalted)

calories 220, fat 18 g, sat fat 1 g, cholesterol 0 mg, sodium 0 mg, carbs 6g,

fiber 3g, sugars 2g, protein 8g

 

I just got this almond butter yesterday and it tastes heavenly, IMO. Now I think

I need to try some of the other nut butters.

 

Since none of these have cholesterol (Isn't that an animal product substance

anyway?) check labels. It seems you can eat any of these without that worry,

though they do have enough fat some of us would probably want to use moderation.

I received this email from Sue Aberle. She asked that I pass it on.

....Also - I saw someone posted a question about raw tahini on the discussion

group, commenting that they'd heard that it's not really raw. Could you

please post these comments on my behalf?

 

It's cashew butter that's not really raw. It's the cashews that normally

have to undergo the heat processing that was mentioned, although Natures

First Law say that the cashews that they sell undergo a mechanical process,

thus maintaining a raw state, and will sprout if allowed to. Thus the

cashew butter at Living Tree is not raw, nor is it advertised or labeled as

such. They sell both raw almond butter and roasted almond butter, hopefully

their labels are accurate. We do have to put a certain amount of trust in

the accuracy of these labels. I did recently run across an inaccuracy on

the nutritional labeling for their " Milk of Paradise " product, and am in

communication with them about that. (Basically, the numbers don't add up.)

 

Thanks -

It's cashew butter that's not really raw........ Most people know that cashews are not raw. I am quoting doctor Christopher Yashpal Jayne and David Wolfe who both told me that sesame seeds are heated when they are hulled, even before the become tahini. NizGet more from the Web.

I sometimes put peanut butter in my blender smoothies. A good way to

add protein to a smoothie if you cannot add soy protein powder (I have

difficulty digesting soy products).

Diana,

 

I'm not sure where you live but I live in TX and we are able to buy from

Ozark Warehouse

in Arkansas. A truck drops off our things about 30 min from me in another

town.

they have routes in most southern states. I used to order raw organic

butters from there for a friend in North Carolina. When her parents would go

for

a visit, they would take it. That's how much cheaper it was for me to order

than

for her to buy in her town at a HFS.

Greetings to all:

 

If you have a VitaMix or a very good food processor then you've got your own RAW

nut butter. Why buy when you can make this yourself inside of ten min.?

 

3 cups of your favorite nuts

2TBS of your favorite oil (optional because the nuts are loaded w/oil)

celtic sea salt to taste (optional)

Persian, so glad you brought up this subject as I have been meaning to. I got

some " raw organic " almond butter (1 lb) at Whole Foods and I nearly

choked...over $15 !!! Did some poking around on the net and the cheapest I could

find was around $12 but then you had to pay for shipping. The ones that are

roasted are much less expensive. And I think I even saw one that said it was raw

by the same brand did not say organic that was also lesser in price. Anyone have

ideas? That's awful high, it seems. You CAN order raw butters on the net though.

I guess over in the states you get raw nut butters from the HFS?

Do they come in jars, or what sort of containers? Someone I know

on another health list said he believes most everything in cans

and jars is treated with heat, or pasteurised in some way, to give

the product shelf life.

 

Please let me know about the raw nut butters you have available, and I

will try not to be jealous. We do not have much choice of products here.

 

thanks a lot

For those of you that live in the Bay Area, the Food Mill in Oakland has raw

tahini, raw almond butter and raw cashew butter that they sell in bulk for under

$5 a pound. You have to ask for it as they have it in big tubs in the back room.

They pack it in a container for you.

Persian,

 

Rejuvenative Foods (www.rejuvenative.com) sells raw nut butters which I buy

through my local Whole Foods store. Maranatha also sells some raw nut butters

along with their cooked. If nobody in your part of the world sells them, that

sounds like a great business opportunity for somebody there.

Hi Persian,

 

If you still have the manual for your blender check to see if it'll grind nuts.

The softer nuts would probably work better, i.e. cashews, pine or maccadamia

nuts.

Hi again

 

I just googled Vitamix to see what they are and no I do not have one and

there don't seem to be any in this country. hmm wonder if a blender would do it?

 

Thanks for the recipe!

You would choke to death here then! The raw almonds are $29 per kilo

which is 2.2 pounds. The (cooked/roasted) butters are $10 per 250g !

I have not seen an answer to this. I soak and ddehydrate almonds for

eating so I guess you could to make the butter. Have not tried it yet as

I expect to end up with a crunchy mess with my average food processor!

Persian, actually I will probably not purchase the more expensive raw organic

nut butters again. I am able to make nut butter in my food processor (especially

the Cuisinart) quite easily. It doesn't have the amount of oil that the ones in

the jar have, but it is nice and smooth.

I heard somewhere that you had to have a special kind of almonds to make

almondsbutter, do you know what kind of almond that would be? Because when

I try to make almond butter, it is not as olie as the one I buy in jars.

Maria,

 

I don't use any special kind of almonds when I make almond butter at

home. I also soak them for 12 hours, use Rhio's quick dipping

method to blanch them and NOT cook them (see www.rawfoodinfo.com for

details), peel them, then dehydrate them THOROUGHLY to a hard

crunchy state. Then I refrigerate overnight and run them through a

decent food processor. A high speed blender also works great. Just

watch the temperature as you're making the almond butter so you

don't cook them! Almond butter without the skins is the most

delicious I've ever tasted in my life, light colored, sweet, and

smooth.

 

The oiliness of the almond butter is determined by how finely the

food processor/blender processes the almonds. The finer the

processing, the more the oil is released from the solids.

 

Good luck!

There are also Sunflower seed butters, too. Check your local health

food stores for what other options are available. I think Trader Joes

may have both soy and sunflower butters, too.

[Guest guest]

mmmm, soy butter....are they available without sugar? i know trader joes has a brand of soy butter but they have coverts....i haven't looked anywhere else so maybe i should investigate whole foods...
