    what do you mean it’s mostly butter? even peanut butter with added oil/sugar/salt is still some 85% peanuts. Or do you mean simply that it had a high fat content?

      Can’t they make peanut butter where they don’t add anything at all? Like just peanuts?

        Unsalted natural peanut butter is just roasted peanuts. Salted natural peanut butter is just peanuts and salt. The oil is just from the peanuts, not added.

        No mix peanut butter is the same but with palm oil and usually whichever sweeteners are cheapest. Palm oil hardens at room temperature and keeps the peanut oil from separating.

        Sounds like you’ve never been to a hippy store. They sometimes have machines that you pour the peanuts into and then you have some peanut butter. You can also have cashew butter, etc.

          You can get the just peanuts stuff from any store. I think Adam’s is like that. It is the kind you have to stir the oil back in when you get it.

        I make my own peanut butter because I like it extra roasty. It’s like 500g peanuts, a half teaspoon of salt.
