  • Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly?
    Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly? Yes! Peanut butter contains carbohydrates, fat, and protein; the ratios of those macronutrients are what makes it acceptable for a keto diet. Our Once Again peanut butters that are made with one simple ingredient: peanuts, are a healthy addition to your keto diet. Peanuts are in the legume family, which includes a variety of beans. Generally speaking, legumes are not included in keto diets; however, peanuts have a higher fat content than other beans which makes them keto-friendly. Moreover, peanuts have a similar macronutrient distribution when compared to nuts such as almonds. They are high in fat and lower in carbs, and thus make a perfect food for the keto lifestyle. Peanut butter fits nicely into your keto diet as a dip for celery, or add it to smoothies, or experiment with it as an ingredient in salad dressings. Is Almond Butter Keto- Friendly? Yes! Almond butter is a staple for most following a keto lifestyle. Used often as a versatile ingredient in salad dressings, dips, and sauces, and in many other culinary innovations, nut butters in general have the desired macronutrient ration for a keto diet, and almond butter is a particularly good choice because of its fiber and vitamin E content. Most of our almond butters contain one simple ingredient: almonds. The newest addition to our product line is our Blanched Almond Butter, available in both in Extra Creamy and Crunchy varieties. Once Again Blanched Almond Butters contain only one gram of carbohydrate per serving! Blanching almonds involves removing the exterior of the almond, leaving behind a surprisingly nutty-sweet interior, with its lighter texture and color.

  • Shelf Life Extension of Seed Butter Made with Sesame, Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds
    SHELF LIFE EXTENSION OF SEED BUTTER MADE WITH SESAME, SUNFLOWER AND PUMPKIN SEEDS THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yung-Hsin Chien, B.S. Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Melvin Pascall, Advisor Dr. Hua Wang Dr. Farnaz Maleky Copyrighted by Yung-Hsin Chien 2015 Abstract This study investigated the effects of natural antimicrobials, antioxidants and stabilizers on the microbiological, chemical and physicals properties of seed butter made with sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. The first part of this thesis (Chapter 2) investigated the antimicrobial effects of grape seed extract (GSE) and cinnamaldehyde against Salmonella enterica and Listeria innocua in the seed butter. The seed butter samples added were 5, 10 and 15% GSE and 0.1, 1.0 and 1.5% cinnamaldehyde, respectively. S. enterica and L. innocua were inoculated into the seed butter and the samples stored at 25oC. The population of S. enterica and L. innocua were enumerated after 0, 1, 3, 7 and 9 days of storage. The results showed that GSE at 10 and 15% significantly (p<0.05) reduced both S. enterica and L. innocua after one day of storage when compared with the control, which was without added antimicrobial agents. Cinnamaldehyde also showed significant (p<0.05) effects against S. enterica, but L. innocua appeared resistance to cinnamaldehyde. The reduction of L. innocua in cinnamaldehyde fortified seed butter was not significant (p>0.05) when compared with the control.

  • FDA-2016-N-2938 a Proposed Rule: Reference Amount Customarily
    specialtyfood.com FDA-2016-N-2938 A Proposed Rule: Reference Amount Customarily Consumed for Flavored Nut Butter Spreads and Products That Can Be Used to Fill Cupcakes and Other Desserts, in the Labeling of Human Food Products; Request for Information and Comments COMMENTS OF THE SPECIALTY FOOD ASSOCIATION January 3, 2017 The Specialty Food Association (SFA) welcomes this opportunity to submit comments regarding the Proposed Rule, Reference Amount Customarily Consumed for Flavored Nut Butter Spreads and Products That Can Be Used to Fill Cupcakes and Other Desserts, in the Labeling of Human Food Products. SFA is commenting on the appropriate food category and Reference Amount Customarily Consumed (RACC) for nut butter spreads and the related 2014 Citizen's Petition. The issue is important to many SFA member companies, the majority of which are small and very small food businesses producing high value, trend setting specialty food products. The nut butter spreads and products category encompasses many specialty foods. Several of them compete with the product referenced in the Citizen's Petition. The Position of the Specialty Food Association SFA believes that the current RACC and two (2) tablespoons serving size is appropriate for nut butter spreads and products. It is imperative that consumers be able to easily make comparisons of the macronutrient amounts in foods they use in similar ways, which in this case includes traditional peanut butter and almond butter, as well as cocoa, cookie, and coffee flavored spreads. Maintaining the current RACC of two tablespoons for flavored nut butter spreads accomplishes that. Regarding the Citizen's Petition filed on behalf of Ferrero, U.S.A., Inc.

The surfaces of the protein and starch bodies of the nut solids are smooth due to a reduction of cytoplastic reticuli surrounding the protein bodies. The particle size distribution is monodispersed, i.e. a curve with a single peak. A process for preparing these particle size peanuts using a roll milling process which can be followed by a separate smearing step is also disclosed.

  • Crediting Nuts and Seeds in the CACFP
    Crediting Nuts and Seeds in the Child and Adult Care Food Program This guidance applies to meals and snacks served in child care centers, family day care homes, emergency shelters, at-risk afterschool care centers, and adult day care centers that participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). For information on the CACFP meal patterns for children and crediting foods, visit the Connecticut State Department of Education’s (CSDE) Meal Patterns for CACFP Child Care Programs and Crediting Foods in CACFP Child Care Programs webpages. For information on the CACFP adult meal patterns and crediting foods, visit the CSDE’s Meal Patterns for CACFP Adult Day Care Centers and Crediting Foods in CACFP Adult Day Care Centers webpages. Nuts and seeds and their butters credit as the meat/meat alternates component in the CACFP meal patterns for children and the CACFP adult meal patterns. Creditable nuts and seeds in the USDA’s meal patterns include almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, filberts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, soy nuts, and sunflower seeds. Acorns, chestnuts, and coconuts do not credit. Roasted or dried soybeans credit the same as soy nuts. However, fresh soybeans (edamame) are legumes and credit as the vegetables component. For more information, review the CSDE’s resource, Vegetable Subgroups in the CACFP. Children younger than 4 are at the highest risk of choking. Nuts, seeds, chunky peanut butter, and chunks or spoonfuls of nut or seed butters are choking hazards. Consider children’s age and developmental readiness when deciding whether to offer these foods in CACFP menus.

  • What We're Reading
    WHAT WE’RE READING... November 2017 | mindbodygreen.com | Isabel Smith, R.D., CDN | Nutrition NOTE: Some sentiments contained within “What We’re Reading” articles may not strictly conform with Simple Again’s nutritional outlook. We read articles containing opposing information all the time and derive our nutritional philosophies from the latest science, the opinions of experts worldwide and our anecdotal experiences in the field. We keep an open mind and a strong affinity for fact-based evidence to help make the world of nutrition “Simple Again” for you. Is Peanut Butter Actually Bad For You? Is peanut butter good for you? Is almond butter better? I get these questions from my clients all the time, mostly because there’s a lot of different and conflicting information out there. For quite some time, peanuts have been tossed aside by many health and wellness enthusiasts and experts—partially, I think, because traditional peanut butter for decades has been laden with trans fats and added sugar (yep, the fully hydrogenated oil on the label of your peanut butter— those are trans fats). However, there are other reasons that health experts and enthusiasts might suggest that you try almond butter over peanut butter, and there are also a few reasons that peanut butter may be your best choice, too. Here’s what you need to know: 1. Peanuts aren’t actually a nut. Peanuts belong to the legume family and for many of my clients, legumes are a major issue for easy digestion (other members of the legume family include chickpeas, soybeans, lentils, and peas, to name a few).
