What color is peanut butter?

No, ordinarily all peanut butter is brown. But fun recipes for making green peanut butter are available on the Internet. There also could be certain commercial brands of peanut butter that market a green product for Halloween, St. Patrick's Day and other special events.

Does kit kats have peanut butter?

No, Kit-Kats do not contain peanut butter, or any other form of nuts.

When was Mr. Peanut created?

The Peanut Butter Solution was created in 1985.

What is in peanut butter that makes it so addictive?

Peanut butter includes proteins and sugars important for the body to produce energy. Our bodies need the energy to do work so the brain sends sensory impulses for "peanut butter" to heighten the amount of protein and/or sugars.

Will birds eat peanut butter?

I wouldn't give my parakeet peanut butter. I boil some chicken eggs and cut just a little bit up and put it in her food dish. A nice treat every one or two weeks. Also, if you go to your local pet store, you can find something called millet. That is messy, but my parakeet LOVES it.

Does peanut butter crunch have real peanut butter?

Peanut butter is made by crushing peanuts into paste. Make your own by putting some peanuts into a plastic bag and pounding them with a hammer.

A jar of pure/natural peanut butter will have a layer of peanut oil on top and must be stirred before each use. Brands like Skippy and Jiff have additives mixed in to prevent the oil from separating.

Does organic peanut butter have starch?

Peanut butter is a blend of protein, fat and starch or carbohydrates. For example, if you had 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, you would get 6 grams or 24 calories worth of starch/carbohydrate; 8 grams or 32 calories worth of protein; and 16 grams or 144 calories worth of fat.

Can you eat peanut butter with a fork?

It's possible if there are noodles and veggie etc. It will take you forever to eat the broth with a fork.

Can peanut butter turn in to diamonds?

It might be possible to change peanut butter into diamond, but it would probably have to be done in a lab. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is formed in an environment of heat and great pressure. We can make diamonds by the compression of carbon around a diamond "seed" in a huge press that is heated. But heating peanut butter to "reduce" it to carbon would probably result in it burning (if it was done in air), or pyrolizing (if it was done away from air). The first would allow the carbon to "get away" and the latter would see it form compounds that would "resist" allowing the carbon to form diamond crystals.

If we treated the peanut butter chemically to isolate the carbon, we could use that to create a diamond in the press we mentioned before. This question might be designed to cause a student to think about peanut butter, specifically about the chemistry of this substance. There is a fair amount of carbon in peanut butter, but it is chemically chained up with other elements to make up organic molecules. Heating and compressing peanut butter without isolating the carbon would probably just make a mess in the press. But the carbon in peanut butter is the same as the carbon in a diamond. Carbon is carbon. It's just that in diamond, the atoms of carbon have been forced into lattice, and it takes a lot of heat and pressure to make that happen.

Is there spider eggs in peanut butter?

Yeah, 30 or more insect parts per 100 grams. Rodent hairs or rodent droppings are also allowed into it.

What happens if you put peanut butter on your face?

Your face might get burnt if you have sensible skin or if the mayo has a trace of mustard. I do not recommend it since I had the same question, did it and went all wrong.

Can goldfish eat peanut butter?

Bananas are not toxic to goldfish because goldfish will/do not eat them. Bananas will however rot in water and the process of decay will poison the water so that the goldfish will get very sick or die from the poisons caused by decaying matter/bananas in their water.

Does Bigfoot like peanut butter?

Is peanut butter a pure substance or a mixture?

Mixture of these ingredients:

Vegetable Oil blend

water

whey (milk)

salt

veggie mono & diglycerides

soy lecithin

citric acid

artificial flavors

vitamin A

beta carotene (for color)

How it is made:

Margarine makers start with cheap. poor quality vegetable oils, such as corn, cottonseed, soybeans, safflower seeds and canola.

These oils have already turned rancid from being extracted from oil seeds using high temperature and high pressure. Rancid oils are loaded with free radicals that react easily with other molecules, causing cell damage, premature aging and a host of other problems.

The last bit of oil is removed with hexane, a solvent known to cause cancer. Although this hexane subsequent removed, traces of it are inevitably left behind.

Unfit for consumption

Moreover, some of these oils are not suitable for human consumption to begin with.

Cottonseed oil, one of the most popular margarine ingredients, has natural toxins and unrefined cottonseed oil is used as a pesticide. The toxin, gossypol, is removed during refining.

Cottonseed oil also contains far too much Omega-6 fatty acids in relation to Omega 3. While both Omega 6 and Omega 3 are essential fatty acids, an imbalance between the two is widely believed to cause various health problems, including heart disease.

Most experts on the subject believe that a healthy ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 is between 1:1 and 1:2. Cotton seed oil, however, has over 50 percent omega 6 and only trace amounts of Omega 3, giving a ratio of 1: several hundred or more.

As cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops, there are also concerns that cottonseed oil may be highly contaminated with pesticide residues. However, insufficient testing has been done.

Canola oil, which is widely touted as the healthiest oil of all, has problems as well. Consumption of Canola has been linked with vitamin E deficiency as well as growth retardation. For this reason, Canola oil is not allowed to be used in the manufacture of infant formula.

The oils used for making margarine are also among the Big Four genetically modified crops - soy, corn, rapeseed / Canola and cotton.

The raw oils for making margarine are steam cleaned. This destroys all the vitamins and antioxidants.

However, the residues of pesticides and solvents - that is, hexane - remain.

The oils are mixed with finely ground nickel, a highly toxic substance that serves as a catalyst for the chemical reaction during the hydrogenation process.

Other catalysts may be used, but these, too, are highly toxic.

The oils are then put under high temperature and pressure in a reactor.

Hydrogen gas is introduced. The high temperature and pressure, together with the presence of nickel catalyst, causes hydrogen atoms to be forced into the oil molecules.

If the oil is partially hydrogenated, it turns from liquid into a semi-solid.

Trans fats are formed during partial hydrogenation. These are fat molecules that have been twisted out of shape. In liquid oils, the molecules are bent, with the hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of each other.

During partial hydrogenation, the molecules are somewhat straightened and now all the hydrogen molecules are on the same side.

If the oil is fully hydrogenated, it turns into a hard solid that cannot be eaten. It no longer contains trans fats because the "out of shape" oil molecules have all been broken up to form straight chains. But this does not mean they have become healthy again because of all the unnatural steps above.

What comes out of the partial hydrogenation process is a smelly, lumpy, grey grease.

To remove the lumps, emulsifiers - which are like soaps - are mixed in.

The oil is steam cleaned (again!) to remove the odor of chemicals. This step is called deodorization and it again involves high temperature and high pressure.

The oil is then bleached to get rid of the grey color.

Synthetic vitamins and artificial flavors are mixed in.

A natural yellow color is added to margarine, as synthetic coloring is not allowed!

In fact, early last century, all coloring was not allowed and margarine was white. This was to protect consumers so that they do not get butter and margarine mixed up.

Finally, the margarine is promoted to the public as a health food - with the full endorsement of many scientists, doctors, nutritionists and health authorities.

Nutella vs peanut butter which is better for youeanut?

Depending on your body's needs, either marmite or peanut butter is better for you. Marmite is high in sodium, but low in fat (and calories). On the other hand, peanut butter is very high in fat. That's not necessarily a bad thing; it also has a very low rating on the Glycemic Index. That means it keeps you full for longer. The body needs fat to survive. Basically, taken in moderation, nothing is that bad for you.

Can dwarf hamsters eat peanut butter?

yes! I have fed all my dwarf hamsters peanut butter and they love it, but only feed it to them in very small amounts... it could get stuck in their cheek pouches or they could choke on it. A good treat for dwarf hamsters is a small or halved dog biscuit with a thin layer of peanut butter on it. My hamster gobbles it up!
