Nut butter! - Ausbb

Sticky · 29-08-2010, 01:27 PM

Hey guys.
I just got a food processer and made my first batch or organic, unroasted peanut butter. Turned out pretty damn good if I do say so myself

.

Im thinking, why just make peanut butter when there are a whole range of great nuts out there waiting to be made into a delicious spread.

Id like to get a full range of fats, but im not sure what ratios are ideal (mono-unsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated). Once I know that, I can start choosing my nuts!

This mix was just peanuts with macadamia oil.

Any help would be much appreciated

.

BTW- If anybody would like to try "Scotts Nut Paste", just come round

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful sticky but I just have to say natural peanut butter is DELICIOUS! so hard to beat

My peanut butter isn't roasted. I was thinking you may lose some nutritional value being roasted, which is why I'm now making my own raw spread. I have done no research into the effects roasting has though, so I could be wasting my time lol.

Don't worry sticky, unroasted is fine and mighty tasty!

I would also like to make my own. I always buy Sanatarium natural peanut butter, the ingredients says they only use nuts, however its made from local and imported ingredients and in other words some of the nuts come from overseas and i'm not interested in that.

Making it myself i would leave the oil out and make it neat.... and crunchy of course. I'll keep my eye open for local nuts (not supermarket ones as they wont be fresh) next i'm out and about.

Would there be any other nuts i could use besides peanuts?

Thats what I wanted to know mate. Almonds and cashews seem to be good.

Also, you will need to add oil. If you don't, it will just be chips of peanuts. They are just not oily enough (or my food processor isn't very good) to be used by them selves.

Just made a batch of cashew butter. I used Extra virgin olive oil to moisten it. Knew we had some cashews the other half bought recently so the wife will be happy i've blended her nuts. hehe.

I was under the impression that the oil would come out of the nuts when blended but that didnt happen as Sticky says.
