Peanut butter at home - general principles of cooking
Essentially, peanut butter is just ground nuts very well, as the rest of the ingredients are added in small quantities. You need to prepare a delicacy with a blender, a combine. When using a meat grinder, nothing happens. Good grinding helps free the fat that is in the nuts, the consistency weakens, the mass becomes thinner.

· Salt
Other ingredients may be present, depending on the recipe selected. Very often, pasta is prepared with cocoa or chocolate, other nuts, seeds can be added. Below you can find all these recipes.

If there is no nutty edible oil, then we use sunflower, but choose refined product. If you managed to kill the pasta very well, the consistency suits you, then additional fats are not needed at all, you can do without them.
