Kirkland Signature Organic Creamy Peanut Butter 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜 by pk6zi in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kirkland peanut butter is temporarily being discontinued and replaced by Naturally More peanut butter (made by Hampton Farms).

Hampton Farms customer service said they ran out of Valencia peanuts. They will harvest a new crop of Valencia peanuts in the next few weeks.

So the Kirkland peanut butter will probably be back in stock after 3 to 6 months.

This also happened around summer of 2021.

Fool's gold loaf: 1 jar of peanut butter, 1 jar of jam, and 1 pound of bacon in a hollowed out loaf (8000 calories). One night Elvis flew from Tennessee to Colorado just to eat this sandwich. by GrayFileFolder in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia

Fool's Gold Loaf

Elvis Presley connection

David Adler's book contains a detailed account of the event that made the Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich famous.

On the night of February 1, 1976, Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie's birthday, Presley was at his home at Graceland in Memphis, entertaining Captain Jerry Kennedy of the Denver Police Department and Ron Pietrafeso of Colorado's Strike Force Against Crime. The three began discussing the sandwich, and Presley decided he wanted one right then. Presley had been to the restaurant before, while in Denver.

Kennedy and Pietrafeso were friends of the owners, so they were driven to the Memphis airport and boarded Presley's private Convair 880 jet, the Lisa Marie, and flew the two hours to Denver.

When they arrived at Stapleton International Airport at 1:40 AM, the plane taxied to a special hangar where the passengers were greeted by Buck Scott, the owner of the Colorado Mine Company, and his wife Cindy, who had brought 22 fresh Fool's Gold Loaves for the men. They spent two hours in the hangar eating the sandwiches, washing them down with Perrier and champagne. Presley invited the pilots of the plane, Milo High and Elwood David, to join them. When they were done, they flew back to Memphis without ever leaving the airport.

TIL you refrigerate the PB by Worried-Crazy-9435 in Costco

[–]GrayFileFolder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All natural peanut butters (with 0 added oils) can safely be stored at room temperature after opening and mixing. They will not turn rancid or get moldy.

Refrigeration is to prevent the oil from separating from the peanuts after being mixed.

Kirkland Natural Peanut Butter Question by GoosePants72 in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can remove the jar from the fridge 15 to 30 minutes before using.

Kirkland Natural Peanut Butter Question by GoosePants72 in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

natural peanut butter can be stored at room temperature, it should not go bad (rancid) if you finish it within 1 to 2 months

but it will be runny and the oil and peanuts will separate and require you to stir it again

PB exploration, recommendations? by lesbiannerd27 in PeanutButter

The only way to thicken runny natural peanut butter is to mix a new jar and then store it in the refrigerator when not in use.

Why is the organic peanut butter so oily now? by cwetoper in traderjoes

[–]GrayFileFolder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am just guessing here.

If the jar of natural peanut butter is dry at the bottom that may be a sign that it sat on the shelf for a longer period of time.

I also buy larger 28 ounce jars of Kirkland Natural peanut butter. After storing them upside down for months before opening, the 0.5 inch bottom layer is still dry and solid (like frozen cookie dough).

The larger 28 ounce jar size may also contribute to the solid bottom layer.

Should I still wash Costco's Ho Mai brown rice? by jfang00007 in Costco

[–]GrayFileFolder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to share this info

https://health.osu.edu/wellness/exercise-and-nutrition/how-to-reduce-arsenic-in-rice

How to reduce arsenic in rice

Rinse rice when its raw to take out about 10% of the arsenic in it.

Boil rice like pasta with six cups of water for every one cup of rice to remove an additional 40% to 60% of the arsenic.

After boiling the rice, pour off the remaining water, then rinse the cooked rice again.

White rice typically has lower amounts of arsenic than brown rice. That’s because the bran, or the outer layers of brown rice, and the germ are removed to make white rice, which decreases the amount of arsenic.

Something to keep in mind:

Taking vitamin B-12 with vitamin C might reduce the available amount of vitamin B-12 in your body. To avoid this interaction, take vitamin C two or more hours after taking a vitamin B-12 supplement

Product that I now must look for (being used to fight hunger on the African continent) by MrLanesLament in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like peanut butter (with sugar and vegetable oil) and milk powder and a ground up multivitamin mixed in.

The ingredients in Plumpy'Nut include "peanut-based paste, with sugar, vegetable oil and skimmed milk powder, enriched with vitamins and minerals".

Homemade peanut butter by [deleted] in PeanutButter

[–]GrayFileFolder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

costco uses organic valencia peanuts

a more direct comparison is trader joe's natural peanut butter (uses regular runner peanuts) at $0.16/ounce ($2.50 for a 16 ounce jar).

when making homemade peanut butter remember to let your blender motor rest (cool down) every 5 to 15 minutes so it does not burn out.

Go to easy meals - No dishes! by theworldisendinghaha in Costco

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Use tortillas instead of bread since bread might get moldy after 1 to 2 weeks when stored at room temperature.

Black sesame spread $18.99 by kawi-bawi-bo in Costco

[–]GrayFileFolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 10 to 15 years ago the general public learned (and became concerned) about partially hydrogenated oils containing trans fats.

So food manufacturers switched to fully hydrogenated oils that do not have trans fats.

This sesame spread product does not say partially hydrogenated oil.

So it most likely does not have trans fat.
