skippy natural peanut butter....

[jixxxer]

I just found this at the grocery store while stopping to buy my smuckers natural p.b. Its the skippy brand natural p.b. but with out the oily mess and it taste great, just like jif and all those others. The only difference I see is that is has palm oil. Is this stuff as good as the other natural brands of p.b. or should I be leary of it?

[Giantz11]

As long as its not partiallt hydrogonated Palm OIl it should be ok. I'd still stick with Smuckers.

My natty pb's ingredients are...peanuts. That's it. I buy it from a natural food market we have here...I'd be a little leary, I know there are other brands, that dont have added oil, (Adam's comes to mind, Ingredients=peanuts, salt).

[brutesinme]

best = peanuts + food processor + smidgen flax oil

[jixxxer]

The smuckers ingrediants are : peanuts, salt.
Im not sure whats the purpose of the palm oil in the skippy for?

[chest6]

In the smuckers its all runny..its not like held together. Not sure what does that in skippy??

[BLAZE K]

skippy reduced fat pb? thats what i usually buy but do they take the efa's in it making it just pb without the efas?

[soccer#3]

skippy reduced fat pb? thats what i usually buy

Same here, got 4 of them at home. Best tasting pb if i say

[sooners04]

I noticed that the skippy P.B. has some sugar in it, like 4 or 5 grams per tablespoon. Thats the reason I stayed with Smuckers.

[chest6]

I think skippy has 3g per 2 tablespoons and smuckers has 1g. They both still have 6g of carbs I think..

[WHOADY4SHOADY]

I dont think Ive seen it before. Ill have to look into that.

Super Chunk Skippy's Natural Pb = Scrumptious

[spittin' 'n cussin']

i may be wrong but i dont think pb has any EFAs at all. i think its just good fat for some reason. but yeah my roommate had some skippy natty pb and we looked at ingredients and i didnt taste hers but i will stick to my smuckers cuz for the fact that the ingredients say peanuts for mine and peanuts+a bunch of other stuff for hers

[Kärnfysikern]

peanuts contain a fair bit of omega 6 and omega 9, hardly any omega 3. But its a good fat anyway. Plenty of non essential fats that are very benificial to health, immune system, cholesterol ect.

Palm oil has a high amount of saturated fats for a vegetable oil ... dont really know why you would add that particular oil to PB..

My nat pb is just organic peanuts....

[Kärnfysikern]

the palm oil might extend shelflife I guess ??

[brutesinme]

i thought the palm oil was to keep the pb more solid and stop it from seperating

[Kärnfysikern]

is palm oil semi soild at room temp??

[SPIKE]

Palm oil is listed as one of the 3 "Tropical oils" next to Coconut and Palm Kernel oil. They are the only 3 saturated fats that are not solid at room temp.

I had an extensive argument with one of my professors b/c he stated that ALL saturated fats were solid at room temp. I kindly told him that wasnt true and he got a red and pissed at me which was kind of funny. And he's the one teaching the class, go figure............Johan you get up there.......

That sounds like a ignorant professor .

I wonder if palm oil(virgin and not the hydrogenated shit) has as many health benifits as coconut oil.

[brutesinme]

what benefits does coconut oil possess? I was under the assumption that the tropical oils were the ones to avoid.

[Kärnfysikern]

coconut oil has a gazzilion benifits. It boosts imune system, it is anticancerogenic, it is hostile to funugs.

Interesting read johan, i'll finish it after classes. Do you supplement with coconut oil, and if so, how much do you use?

[Kärnfysikern]

no I havent been able to get ahold of virgin coconut oil in sweden If I could I would use 20 grams a day or so.

[brutesinme]

that much? by the way, i love your racoon balls
