I love peanut butter.

Over the years, I have bought countless jars of it, whether smooth or chunky, it's absolutely delicious. Besides, it is packed with powerful health benefits: protein, vitamins, antioxidants, good fats, and so much more.

But now I know what I know, and I'm never going to buy peanut butter again. I am going to make my own.

Here is the first reason is likely to contain some small amount of hair mice store-bought peanut butter. I'm not sure if this is more convenient or disgusting, but the US Food and Drug Administration regulates this, saying that peanut butter can have more than one, on average, from rodent hair per 100 grams.

To be fair to the peanut butter, and a small amount of hair rodents is unlikely to cause health problems. The peanut butter is certainly not the only food that contains pollutants "Allow". Pizza sauce has fly eggs, insect parts and get a green signal in potato chips. But more disturbing, dyes and oils rancid and harmful chemicals and hormones lurk in many of these foods daily. In a lot of peanut butter and partially hydrogenated oils brands - another expression of unsaturated fats deadly - added. Is it worth it?

 

Which brings me to the second reason I will not go shopping for peanut butter again: It is almost a matter of ridicule easy to make at home. Bonus: It is less expensive and tastes much better than any commercial brand.

Here is my recipe:

1 large handful of roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon peanut oil
Honey to taste
Kosher salt to taste

Put everything in a food processor, and blend well or coarsely.

Five minutes fast, and get fresh and mice free of hair peanut butter. It is believed delicious, in fact.
