Default Meenut Butter

What a great idea for people who are allergic to peanuts, and for
people like me who want the
yummy of a nut butter but don't eat peanuts for other reasons.

Great little product. Just found this today. Gonna get some.

Were it important to me I'd simply make my own, then I'd know what/who
is in it... their prices are ridiculous... one would think those who
want nut butters but not peanuts would have always made their own, it
doesn't get anymore no brainer.

Not one of your more inspired rants, O Brainless One. An observant
person would focus on the preciousness of the site, or the absurdity
of ordering handmade food from somebody in Hawaii when the ingredients
are all available throughout the civilized world.

You missed the boat on this one. Time to order some underpants and at
least try to join the human race.

Mee is the first name of the owner of the site and business. She is
a cross fit trainer, etc.

I checked out the ingredients on the product and it sounds quite
interesting. Interesting enough flavor combinations from the butters
and seeds that I think it might be worth experimenting with. From
what I understand, it took them quite a while to come up with just the
right combination/ratio and types of nuts and seeds.

True. Not all are guaranteed free of peanuts though.

Some are made in dedicated facilities. We had a hard time finding cashew
butter that is but it is out there.

Sure. I've had and made butter from almonds, walnut, pecans and
macadamia tree nuts. I've have butter made from flax and sunflower
seeds. What's new is I haven't had combinations. Nice enough idea.

Peanuts are peas aka legumes. In adidtion to peanuts I've had paste of
other legumes. Chickpea paste is okay but much better when used as an
ingredient in humus. Pinto beans are good as refried bean paste. I
wonder how many other legmes would be good made into pastes.

exactly. That is what intrigued me, the combinations of nuts and
seeds. Definitely going to try an experiment.

Hummus is a combination of legume paste from chick peas and seed butter
from sesame tahini plus a little of this and that to vary it enough to
be called the family recipe. So there's one such combination that is
very good.

There's a concept I found hilarious. Paleolithic eating is where if you
can acquire a food with no technology more advanced than a sharp stick
and you can eat it raw with no ill effects then feel free to eat it raw
or cooked. The product is in a jar and made in a factory using metal
grinding machines. Yet because the ingredients can be pulled off of
trees and other plants the resulting product is paleolithic allowed.

It's as funny to me as a box of Rice Chex being labelled "gluten free".
Sure, so's my chicken and broccolli.

The basic concept of the types of food that hunter gatherers ate being
optimal for the human diet has not changed. They were not farmers.
What has changed is the realization that in the 21st century, there's
just too much variety available to continue to expect people to be
really strict about that type of diet.

My own primal eating involves leaving out grains, legumes, sugar and
empty carbohydrates. I'm not opposed to some processing of primal
foods but I stay away from GMO and buy organic as much as possible.

Celiacs are happy that Rice Chex are gluten free. Since I don't eat
grains I don't worry about it.

My favorite is the hard candy labeled 'fat free'.
