What Happens When You Start Eating Peanut Butter Everyday
FAQ
Is it okay to eat watery peanut butter?
Natural peanut butter does not contain hydrogenated oils and other stabilizers like the other peanut butters on the market. So the oil and the peanuts will separate and also can make it thinner. This might be the ‘watery’ part that you mentioned. This does not mean the peanut butter is bad or can not be consumed.
Why is some peanut butter more runny?
As a general rule, if a nut butter is slightly on the runny side with a bit of oil on top, it’s a sign that it’s natural and not packed with lots of unnecessary ingredients. Give it a good stir and you’ll be good to go. The oil at the top of the jar is natural oil from the nuts that have separated over time.
What is the watery layer on peanut butter?
That’s often a sign it has added oils like cottonseed, rapeseed, soybean, or palm oil. They mix with the peanut oil preventing any oil at the top. If you prefer all-natural peanut butter, mixing that extra oil back in can be a mess. But pouring it off will leave you with a dried-out peanut butter.
