Val,

I called Smuckers when I started this diet. Even though I did not get a letter from them, I determined that the Smucker's natural no salt added was legal, as it just contains peanuts. The woman I spoke to then said there was nothing else added, that Smucker's actually is in the forefront of championing accurate labeling and if it's not on the label, it's not in the jar. The only reason the all natural with salt is not totally legal, is that table salt could contain dextrose. Elaine said, according to others on this list, that iodized salt was a necessary dietary ingredient, and so the dextrose was inevitable. I buy the Smucker's no salt added ( all natural) and add my own kosher salt---I actually like it better because I control the saltiness. I do not have time to grind my own and don't want to.

HTH,

Terry

You'll want to try pecan butter or almond butter before you get to peanut

butter. Since it's a legume, it's an advanced food. Peanut butter can really

mess the diet up for newbies, so I'd hold off on it if I were you. I'm 7 months

in and still haven't tried it!

I make my own pecan butter. However, I buy my almond butter at Trader Joe's.

It's not blanched though, which bothers some people (I'm lucky and do fine with

it).

I would think one would have to be super person to make everything from scratch!!! I just have to figure out what I have to make and what I can buy.

I thought about buying sea salt the other day. I am not sure if it is compliant. Then I looked at Kosher Salt. What should I look for or what brand?

Thanks so much!

The first nut butter I tried was Almondie which I ordered fron digestive

wellness. It is from blanched almonds. This makes it more expensive, but I

thought it was a good way to step into nut butters. I tried to make pecan

butter, but it was a mess. What do you use to make yours?

I don't agree that Smuckers is legal. A couple years back it was checked out and there was more sugar on the label then could be accounted for. The number was slightly higher like maybe a 2 or a 3 under sugar content. You can taste the sweetness to if I have peanut butter from my peanuts and then taste Smuckers. Katy

Sea salt is fine and any brand of kosher salt is fine as long as the only ingredient is salt.

I am one year into the diet and recently started using regular table salt on occasion only because I do not want to become deficient in iodide/iodine. Marilyn has said that Elaine felt the iodized salt was essential and was worth the amount of dextrose, but I wanted to wait to chance it. Some people get iodide/iodine in a supplement, but again, I'm trying to keep it simple!

Good luck!

Sea salt is totally legal. Different parts of the world have

salts that contain many different kinds of minerals. Good to try several

different kinds. I like Mediterranean Sea Salt. I buy it as coarse crystals with

nothing added. I like the larger crystals. They work well as a sprinkle on

crackers before you bake them, in soups, or just lick your finger and enjoy

some salt from around the world! That’s my take on sea salt.
