peanut butter

[Guest guest]

After starting in a little bits of organic peanut butter for 3 days I read somewhere that on the spectrum of nut butters, peanut was the hardest to digest. Do you find that to be true? I tried to make pecan butter but it's not really tasty. I couldn't get it really smooth. I just used a bit of water with the nuts in my food chopper. Any suggestions to make it better?Thanks,

Salt and a little bit of walnut, almond or other oil.  Even peanut oil.  Not sure on digestion.  They used to warn off peanut butter and pork rinds (can't eat them anyway) so I have always gone with pecan butter or walnut butter if I could get them locally. 

 

I'm not sure what the deal is with peanut butter--hard to digest or people eat too much of it.

 

Salt, toasting and maybe spices if you can handle that or like that and oil helps with flavor.

,I would use a little oil or ghee/clarified butter instead of water. A food chopper won't always do a good job with the nuts. It chops well, but won't go fine enough to make it 'butter'. I have one attachment to my hand blender that works well, but another slightly larger chopper attachment to another hand blender doesn't work well at all. If you have a hand blender, maybe you can use your chopper to get it almost there and then switch to the hand blender with the paste in a bowl to finish it off?Amelia To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, March 4, 2010 11:00:18 AMSubject: peanut butter

Peanuts are a legume, not a nut. Legumes are harder to digest

and so are considered advanced.

For nut butter roast the nuts 1st on a low

temperature (stovetop or oven) for about 10 minutes so the nuts will release

their oil. Let cool a bit then grind them with a little salt. I use a combo of

pecans & walnuts (about1/4 walnut, ¾ pecan) and find that they will

eventually grind down into a paste in a mini Cuisinart. I have to stop &

push the ground nuts around a few times to achieve a nut butter consistency. I

have not tried the addition of walnut oil though that is a good suggestion.

I am a newbie to nut butters- just introduced them. I have a bag of blanched

almond flour from Lucy's Kitchen. I fill my mini cuisinart about halfway up with

the flour and add some olive oil. After about 30 seconds it resembles a smooth

butter- you can add oil as needed. It is really good with sea salt and honey

mixed in too!!! I've never been a huge fan of pecans or walnuts, but I think

this resembles peanut butter. Just be careful to only eat a little at a time so

you don't overdo it in the beginning- it's so good it's hard not to!!!

That's probably a major factor (imho) in how it goes--go slowly, very slowly with it.  I started out cooking batches of brownies, eating it off the spoon and now I don't eat it.

 

If you could make it, freeze it, eat a very small amount over a long period of time then you may tolerate it better over time. At least, that's what I've done with other things and it seems to work better.  Like I can eat salads a lot more often than I used to but I won't eat over five nuts a day.  I kind of blame that on gorging in the first year.  I don't know your situation though.

I hated all nut butters other than peanut at first.To make my pecan butter, I just grind up raw pecans in my food processor. It takes a long time, and a lot of scraping down of the sides, but it eventually gets fairly creamy and smooth without anything being added to it. I usually add some salt for flavor though.

There are at least a couple of potential problems with peanuts/peanut

butter. First, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes, and legumes are

fairly advanced for many people. Second, growing in the ground,

peanuts often have mold issues (I think from improper handling, drying,

storage, etc, things we have no way of knowing).

I'm not sure what the deal is with peanut butter--hard to digest or

people

eat too much of it.

I don't make peanut butter at all because it doesn't agree with me

(darn! it sure tastes good!). But here's how I make relatively

smooth nut butters from pecan meal or almond flour. This isn't smooth

smooth like bought but it's a lot smoother than crunchy nut butter if

that makes sense. First I use my Miracle Mincer which looks like

it's similar to the Mini Cuisinart. This gets it to a paste. It

doesn't hold a lot, maybe 3/4 cup, so I scrape most of that out and

make a second batch. Then transfer to the big blender jar (so I have

the hole in the top.) I add some oil, hard to say how much, until it

will process, really. In a few minutes it's really pretty deent. If

my 45 year old blender (Go, Oster!) gives up the ghost one day I will

probably look at an Omega or VitaMix or something really heavy which

I understand can make really smooth nut butters by virtue of being

able to run a long time without burning the motor out.

I’m

someone who could tolerate a spoonful of peanut butter by the 3rd

week on SCD (my body craves it) --- but nut butters will have my upper GI in

severe distress within an hour. Still can’t touch a nut butter,

even after six years on SCD, but I can eat small amounts of peanut butter; can’t

bake with it though.

However,

in the first 4 years on SCD I had to make my own peanut butter, as all of the

brands I tried caused mild but noticeable reactions, the kind of reaction I

knew was due to some ingredient being included, not the symptoms triggered by

my dysfunctional upper GI. Organic or natural peanut butter doesn’t

always mean pure and unadulterated [sigh]. I still do make my own peanut

butter most of the time, but have, on occasion in the past two years, been able

to tolerate Smucker’s Natural peanut butter; it does save time but doesn’t

taste as good as homemade.

Many

people have problems digesting peanut butter, especially in the beginning

stages of SCD. Peanuts are a common allergen. It is considered an

advanced food.

So,

like everything else on SCD, let your body set the “rules”.

Some people do OK with peanut butter, many do well with nut butter. All

depends on the individual.

Darlene,

I have an Omega juicer and just love it! I made some nut butters with it in the

beginning of SCD to try and it was so easy and it did really well. For the

pecans i just put them in raw (make sure the nut butter attachment is on) and it

comes out so smooth. To me it didn't need oil but you can add some if you want

it creamier. I tried almonds two ways - 1) blanching and 2)putting them in raw

with the peel and both ways were good - the blanched and peeled would be easier

for the gut. I had made walnut butter too and it was yummy also - i put them in

raw. Enjoy! I hope to try the pecan butter again soon!

,

Hey, thanks for this! The almond flour (even a little bit like "breading" on chicken) gives me stomach pain and knowing that is a more advanced food I thought I should try pecan butter. Seems I can munch on whole pecans with no problem. Now I have to figure out which one the nut butter attachment is!
