peanut butter/nuetella/other nut butters?

September 6, 2002

Hi, this is an organic food share and question. I have been using a reciepe I found online- http://www.bertiecopeanuts.com/recipes.cfm to make peanut butter. I used canola oil since I couldn't find any organic peanut oil. Nuetella was one of my son's fav foods so I exchanged about 2 T of peanuts for (organic) chocolate chips for one a batch. I'll half the chips next time. For the question part- peanut butter and egges are the major source protien, so I was wondering if adding different nuts to the peanut butter would be helpful. Thank you

Canola oil is definitely not my favorite. At one time its ancestor, rapeseed,

was used widely as an insecticide. Canola is simply a highly bred form of

rapeseed that will grow in colder climates. It is not natural at all.

Wonder what would happen if you used flax seed oil for peanut butter? That

would be an interesting experiment. My schedule won't allow me to make this

any time soon -- our school just got 23 computers donated & i have to get them

all up and running ASAP.

Adding other nuts should be done carefully. I've been researching nuts

lately, and have found some perplexing things. All nuts contain various

exotic micronutrients, some of which can react with some people. Cashews are

not that good as it turns out. Same with pistachios. But almonds are fairly

good, and seem to have some anti-cancer properties. Hazelnuts are mixed.

Macadamia nuts seem to be really good. Not sure if i would recommend pinon

nuts unless a person has Native American ancestry. So if you have a sensitive

kid, you might want to carefully track any reactions when other nuts are

added.

If you have Native American ancestry you would most likely be more tolerant

of Corn Oil.

That's interesting about your reaction to Flax Seed Oil. Will have to

remember that.

>Intresting you should bring up ancestry. I have always though we had some

native american in us- pretty close. I have always thought it was a family

secret. (We have a few " dead ends " in the family tree.) So to the point

here. I finally got to meet my chiropractor's wife (full blood Native

American) when I was with my Dad and found out that they had been having a

discussion as to my orgins. She said when she saw my father she knew

immediately we were. So now I am trying to find the answer.

I've used virgin coconut oil before for this. It was an interesting taste but if the taste of coconut is horrendous to you-don't try it.

OK no more Canola oil. I have used flax seed oil in the past and it played with my hormones. I became very irregular. Any ideas on what type of oil I should get next time?
