skippy natural pb

Not sure if this is old news or not, but I was in the grocery store the other night and noticed Skippy put out their version of natural peanutbutter. It looks identical to regular pb (no oil separation at the top) and they're claiming you don't need to stir it. I checked the ingredients and sure enough it's peanuts, salt, etc... I picked up a jar and it's pretty dang good. Like I said, there's no oil separation and it spreads as easy as regular pb.

As far as I can tell, the only catch is there's some added sugar... not sure how much, but I think it's a gram or two per serving.


Has anyone else tried this? I'd never seen it before the other night.
 
the key is the etc... can you get a list of the ingredients?

the way the normally avoid the separation of fat is by adding hydrogenated oil (makes evil sign)... how much of it? well, I think I remember you need to have at least 90% peanuts to be called Peanut butter... the other 10% is game.

How much % you need to be called ANPB? well, its got to be very close to 100, since it is suposed to be only peanuts and salt (I personally didn't like the flavor of ANPB)
 
I found the info

How many times have you tried it? I only ask because in my experience everyone who has had it at least a few times agrees, not only that it's absolutely amazing, but it's definitely better than regular pb.

That's interesting. The Skippy I buy does separate a lot. From what you just wrote, that would indicate a good-quality PB.

Yep, I know it is way better than PB... so much better than once can get you fat and the other can help you in a diet... I tried for a full jar... it was an ordeal all the way through. Just not my thing... maybe the one I had was a lame brand (one of the no-name organic local products)
 
Once you get used to natural peanut butter, the regular stuff will taste like crap to you. Waaaayyy too sweet, and nasty.
 
doesn't that new Skippy have Palm Oil? if so that's why it doesn't seperate. It it semi solid in it's natural state and doesn't need to be hydrogenated and can be used as a stabilizer.

That's it - palm oil.

What do we know about palm oil? Is it just as bad as partially-hydrogenated oil?
 
just wondering.. if i bought a supposed "all natural pb" and when i opened it up it was about 2 inches of oil at the top, it's pretty much useless? i should only be eating pb that doesn't separate at all?

...if so back to the grocery store....
 
From Pintoca's post, you might conclude that a PB which does separate out a lot will likely have less palm oil and less hydrogenated oil. As such, that layer of oil on the top could be a good sign. You can always either stir it back in or pour it off for cooking or disposal.
 
the seperation means that it is natty pb. Don't pour out the oil either or the pb will be thick as shit. Stir it in.

LOL you gotta stop not thinking twice about blindly taking advice from members of an online forum. Or at least read the thread again before you start throwing out perfectly good food.
 
smart balance makes anpb with no hydrogenated oils or trans fats. it's pretty good too. it says it doesnt seperate but i've noticed a little bit. has anybody else tried it yet??

Well, crap, it looks like I have to pitch that jar of pb. I guess they're right... "if it's too good to be true, it probably is."

"Palmitic acid increased the total HDL cholesterol ratio more than other saturated fatty acids, including lauric acid and myristic acid, which are abundant in palm kernel oil and coconut oil, the other highly saturated tropical oils."

as far as I know you want a high HDL
 
I like Smuckers the best as far as taste and ingred go. You can get large jars of it at Walmart. Pain the ass to mix but once it is mixed that is it.
