90 calories per 15g is standard for emulsified.
Tyler Lopez
Correct me if I'm wrong but the emulsifier is usually just vegetable oil, no? And it's usually around like 10-20%?
Given that nuts are mainly oil, usually the calorie difference isn't huge. The problem with most store bought isn't really the calories, considering pb always has high calories, it's the added sugar. Vegetable oil isn't great for you but it's usually a pretty small amount anyway.
Dominic Perry
not the calories, my man.
the macros.
THAT PROTEIN TO FAT RATIO.

Is it really that fucking hard to stir your peanut butter or just keep it in the fridge? If your peanut butter contains anything but peanuts and salt then it's probably terrible for you. None of the oils they add are healthy.
Daniel Sanders
the problem is that the industry standard for peanut butter emulsifiers is hydrogenated oils. Which are awful for you basically across the board, no matter which ones you're using. But no one seems to be able to find a substitute that 1) is commercially viable, 2) avoids the separation that you get with natural peanut butters that don't use hydrogenated oils and 3) is at least neutral (health-wise) for human consumption.

What is unhealthy about oil?
Christian Lewis
see oils aren't the problem; hydrogenated oils are, and they're used in every single peanut butter that doesn't have the word "natural" on the label.

tl;dr: Hydrogenated oils are bad for you.
Adam Thomas
Okay a little more elaborated than that, but not 5 published academic papers long.
Bentley Butler
lots of the same reasons trans fats are bad for you are the same reasons hydrogenated oils are bad for you
increased risk of coronary heart disease, statistically significant causal link to increased risk of cancers (p ≤ 0.01), significant increase in LDL concentrations
David Gray
That's only partially hydrogenated oils. Don't confuse the two, that's like saying margarine is made of trans fat when that hasn't been true in forever.
Most manufacturers are moving away from them, I think they're even being banned by the government or whatever.
Jonathan Foster
Not OP but you need to fuck off and either google it or STFU.
Parker Perez
Bullshit liberal propaganda.
Now that Trump is president you don't have to worry about this.
Brandon Gonzalez
Funnily enough I just brought my first container of "natural" peanut butter today. When I opened it the oil was at the top and I had to stir it.
I hope the peanut butter doesn't harden in the fridge.
Hudson Ortiz
spoiler: it will
Levi Torres
Stir the good shit up, and put in the fridge. Jesus, some people are so fucking lazy...
Owen Hughes
It will. Zap it in the micro for 10 seconds and it's gtg.

>I hope
Why? When it's congealed it's easier to serve in increments to measure.
Once it gets back down to room temperature it softens back.
