looking for raw peanut butter

I can't find any on the main raw sites: rawguru and sunfoods. Any other thoughts?

    I'm not aware of any raw peanut butter for purchasing... I make my own! Well, I used to make it until we now have a store near us that carries almond butter. :-) Although, I should say, you don't really want to eat peanuts raw, since they have toxins in them! BUT, if you can find them, Jungle Peanuts are ok to eat raw, and probably make a great peanut butter!

  • I prefer most other nut butters to peanuts. They do have a toxic fungus potential that is higher in their raw form, and that is why most raw fooders steer clear. Also, as you see in the news a recent samonella problem is linked to 6 deaths so far from tainted peanuts. They seem to make me break out if I even have only a tablespoon or so, and I'm not prone to acne at all. You can make your own butters from almonds, cashews, macadamias, even sunflower seeds, which are a better buy than peanuts.

  • yeah, most legumes are harder to digest before you cook them, peanuts included. i've never seen raw pb anywhere.

  • I want to try the recipe listed here for the peanut butter cups (if you click my handle it is listed in my favorites). It calls for raw PB. Maybe I will just make them with almond butter! Thanks!

  • There are supposedly some wild jungle peanuts out there that are okay to eat raw. I think David Wolfe sells them on the sunfood website www.sunfood.com. Although I would suggest subbing almond butter in the pb cup recipe - I'm definitely going to try it!

    Peanuts give me a headache. I suffered from headaches almost EVERY DAY while in grammar school-- some so bad that I would close my eyes and see "lightening"-- and guess what I ate every day? A PB&J sammie.

    Anyone else get headaches from peanuts?
