question on all natty peanut butter...

[DZLS]

does this stuff really need to be refrigerated...?

shit gets hard as a rock in the fridge...

 

[BRD]

I keep mine in the pantry , cause cold pb is nasty.
It shouldnt be a problem keeping it out of the fridge, from what i understand keeping it refrigerated is to stop the oil from separating, which is easily fixed by giving it a bit of a stir when you use it next.

If ya keep in the fridge it turns into cement. just keep it in the cupboard

 

[DZLS]

no joke...

cement is a good way to describe it...

 

[SgtSlaughter]

I've never refrigerated mine... it says fine since it doesn't last more than a week usually.


So, I say no refridgeration after opening... unless storing for unGodly amount of time.

 

[mm107]

i fridge mine, but take it out and leave it out for about 5 mins. I usually leave it alone if its still full, but i hate getting that shit on my fingers so when its low i put it in the fridge.

Anyone try the smart balance natural peanut butter? 1,000mg of omega-3's & 1,300mg Omega-6 per serving. After having that any other NPB makes me want to gag. I live in the southeast so i can only find it in Publix grocery stores cant find in kroger. Not sure if you can find it up north. Good shit though!

A little trick to keep it mixed well is to mix it, turn the jar upside down so it sits on its lid between uses.

I put my ANPB in the fridge (crazy richards or smuckers) and I don't have a problem.. I guess it is a little harder then if stored in the pantry tho...

 

[BrettB1]

Try Skippy brand ANPB. You don't ever have to stir it. Its the best tasting too...and no you don't have to keep it in the fridge if you don't want to.

I stopped eating pb altogether... stuff tastes too good to keep it at bay!

lol 5 tbsp ? That's all you got? ... I can easily eat the jar ... and have

WTF is it with this stuff, some love it some hate it ... it grew on me that's for sure. Oddly enough I fat load VERY well from PB. I dare not try it again.

In reply to the original question, I would do what lifter suggested, turn the jar upside down to keep it room temp and still creamy. If you plan to keep it around for awhile it's better to keep it in the fridge after opening to help preserve it longer (also helps keeps the oil separation) ... scientific details as to why? No friggin clue, just recommended on the jar.

 

[vin01]

Scientifically speaking, its the density of the butter versus that of the oil.

And I have to agree, it's an acquired taste for ANPB.....

bad thing is smt balance pb is not all natty. read the ingredients bro, full of other shit that makes it bad. i've had it it is good, but that is the kicker, it's too good to be natty. stick with smuckers

Yeah, I've tried it. But it doesn't taste as good as regular ANPB.

To answer the first question, I refrigerate it because I always figured it'd spoil if I didn't, since it says refrigerate after opening on the jar.

I hate when it turns to rock too.

 

[DZLS]

i've decided i like it better in the fridge...

LOL...

 

[jenscats5]

I like Crazy Richard's the best.....

I keep it in the fridge too - but have found that letting it sit out for a couple minutes (if you can resist it that long!) helps it "thaw" a bit......

 

[immortalis]

I used to keep mine in the fridge...

until one day I dropped the fucker on my bare foot... was like droppin a god damn cinder block on my toes! OUCH!

Since then its been in the cabinet so I can just open up the door and grab it and sit it straight down onto the counter. I wont make that toe-smashing mistake again

 

[Kold_Killa]

Know this is kind of off subject... But what makes ANPB so good??? what is it about it??

(BTW, i keep mine upside down in cabinet, the oil seperation is on the other end when I turn 'er up)

 

[kethnaab]

i just dump the oil off once it separates and I never worry. tastes just as good, less fat, and it doesn't separate as easily once you get the "bulk" of it down the drain.

 

[deco]

I used to keep a huge jug under my bed usually.

 

[John WB]

That'd be too tempting for me.

You prob know, but you're better off mixing the oil in with it because this a rich source of the efa's

Def devcon is right, the whole idea of eating the peanut butter is for the EFA's wich you are dumping out. Better save them badboys!
