I don't make peanut butter from raw peanuts. I roast them in my oven, and then grind them up! It's so good. Buying peanut butter from a factory is way more likely to contain aflatoxin, since they'll use damaged peanuts and it's the damaged peanuts that grow the mold.Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-48142951189183854152014-04-19T20:43:08.572-07:002014-04-19T20:43:08.572-07:00Do you know that raw peanut butter may contain a c...Do you know that raw peanut butter may contain a carcinogen caused by fungus that is called aflatoxin?

We like it to be more spreadable, and it gets kind of stiff in the fridge- though refrigeration does help it keep longer if you don't go through it quickly. I don't know how long it lasts, but it is best fresh. We've never had it go bad.Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-40580140894836162952013-05-27T02:30:09.713-07:002013-05-27T02:30:09.713-07:00Hi!,

It's annoying, because then it's like the item doesn't exist at all. Azure is where we got our peanuts from, but since then there has been something of a national peanut shortage. You may have to find another source- possibly order from a local health food store or co-op?<br />You can also use any other nuts you can find!

I've he...I think PB is too thick for a blender. I've heard of one blended PB recipe that called for adding WATER, which just sounds gross to me. We have made peanut butter with a hand crank wheatgrass juicer. It's a lot more work, and it doesn't turn out as creamy as with the food processor. I would go with the food processor if at all possible, but if you have a high speed blender, you can try blending in small batches. I think it would burn out the motor on a regular blender.<br />It needs at least 10 minutes in the food processor. Ours is just on/off, so there's no specific setting.Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-82304831620651416722012-11-08T23:39:44.775-08:002012-11-08T23:39:44.775-08:00I checked Azure Standard and they didn't seem ...I checked Azure Standard and they didn't seem to have peanuts in the shell or unroasted peanuts...only roasted & salted or unsalted.
