…are non-US peanut butters less viscous?
Show threadKoboldCoterie2d ago
Non-US peanut butters typically have only one ingredient (peanuts) and therefore you get peanut oil separating out that needs to be stirred in. American peanut butter (at least the ‘popular’ brands) tend to be so full of preservatives and shit that they hold their state.

Here’s the full list of ingredients for Jif:

Made from Roasted Peanuts and Sugar, Contains 2% or Less of: Molasses, Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Rapeseed and Soybean), Mono and Diglycerides, Salt.

It’s not just peanuts but it’s not really “preservatives and shit” either.

The vegetable oils are saturated fats, which will mix with the peanut oil, but solidify at room temperature. That and the sugar are doing the leg work on keeping the peanut butter from separating. So yeah, saturated fats and sugar are unhealthy additives specifically for preserving the peanut butter. What exactly is your definition of a preservative?

Preservative refers to a substance that inhibits spoilage, decay, discoloration or other drops in quality.
It’s one way to increase shelf life.

A stabilizer isn’t a preservative because oil separation doesn’t impact quality, shelf life or anything like that.

Peanuts already have saturated fat, the vegetable oils are better on that than the peanuts.
