Products I Would Like to See: Category Peanut Butter
I am currently on a low glycemic index diet.
Fortunately, peanuts are consistent with the diet and I like peanut butter.
Unfortunately, the standard commercial versions of peanut butter have quite a lot of added sugar, which is not consistent with the diet.
Fortunately, a number of firms make "old fashioned peanut butter," which contains only peanuts.
Unfortunately, such peanut butter tends to separate, with the oil rising to the top. Stirring it is messy, especially when the jar is full, and one tends to end up with hard, dry peanut butter at the very bottom.
I think it unlikely that sugar keeps peanut butter from separating, although I could be wrong, and so conjecture that one of the other ingredients added to the standard brands is what does it. If so, it should be possible to make peanut butter that does not have sugar and does not separate.
I want it.
What I want cannot be found, at least so far by me. I conjecture that part of the reason is information cost — the fact that the old fashioned peanut butter separates is an easy signal that it only has peanuts — and in part religion. The religion in question is the popular form of nature worship that equates "natural" to "good," and so rejects "chemicals" in food whether or not there is any reason to believe that they are bad for us.
