Guest guest Posted April 6, 2000 Report Share Posted April 6, 2000 I keep natural peanut butter in the refrigerator for months. I tend to buy it in huge tubs because it is cheaper that way. How long has yours been there? If it were rancid, you would be able to tell from the look & smell. Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 I seem to remember from school years ago that old spoiled peanuts produce a carcinogen named aflatoxin.For years I have thrown away peanuts I didn't eat soon and bought small jars of peanut butter-with preservatives and threw them out if they I didn't use them soon.Does anyone know if this is true and whether there is any danger from old peanut butter? - Jennifer Hall <ladyevelyn <Veg-Recipes > Sunday, April 09, 2000 7:35 PM Re: Re: peanut butter > At 07:14 PM 06/04/00 +0100, A Kirk wrote: > >I keep natural peanut butter in the refrigerator for months.

Aflatoxin is the product of the mold Aspergillus flavus. If the mold isn't present to begin with, the age of the product is irrelevant. All high-fat products, however, will become rancid with age or improper storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi Amy, I'm just curious. Why can't your daughter take peanut butter to school if that's what she wants? The other kid isn't going to take a bite of your daughter's lunch, is she? Lynne akfral wrote: Soy butter is good too. My daughter can't take PB, or any nut product, to school due to another child's allergies. Soy butter with some honey is really good. I have to send a note in her lunch so the supervisors know it isn't real PB. AmyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't your daughter take peanut butter to school if that's what she wants? The other kid isn't going to take a bite of your daughter's lunch, is she? This is a long story. The child in question has a severe allergy. she can go into anaphylactic shock just smelling PB or any nut on another child's breath. Instead of just putting the nut allergic at their own table the whole school has gone nut free. Personally I do not see why I , along with the other 330 other sets of parents, have to be responsible for this girl. But, I do feel for her plight. Some schools put the allergic child at their own table, wipe it down before and after. And, at age 10, I think she should be able to be responsible for her own allergies. But maybe I'm over stepping the bounds. I have severe allergies, but they aren't life threatening. So I can see both sides of the story. Idon't know if that helps or confuses the issue.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 So true. I once worked in a school cafeteria. There was one girl who had to eat in the office or another room when they had anything with peanut butter being served. Sad to have a reaction to something that tastes as good as peanuts.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Many food allergies occur in children when they are give certain foods before their immune systems have fully developed (around their first birthday). This includes wheat, dairy, citrus, eggs.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 It's very easy to make your own peanut butter if you have a blender. You can use either salted or unsalted peanuts. I use salted, and shake them in a sieve to remove excess salt. It is worth buying good quality peanuts, as they usually taste better than cheap ones. I find that my home made peanut butter, made from good peanuts, costs about the same as cheap commercial peanut butter, and tastes so much better! This way, you can leave out the sugar and various other unnecessary things that commercial peanut butter has. For 375 grams of peanuts, I use 1/4 cup of olive oil. It takes a while for the flow to get going in the blender - it helps if you stir the top edges into the center and maybe press down just a little (don't get caught in the blades!). Once it begins to stir by itself, you can choose how smooth or crunchy you want it to be. Happy blending! Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Peanut butter cookies are great and easy (I think they're best with crunchy peanut butter but either would work): 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg Bake at 350 degrees F until done Or, you could also mix your salted peanut butter with the unsalted and eat that way, just to get rid of it.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Do you like hoisin sauce? I found a good, fast recipe that used PB a little while ago. (I don't remember if I got it from our files or elsewhere and can't look right now.) But holler if you want a copy and I'll be happy to pass it on.
