Why is there a layer of oil on my Peanut Butter?
Our peanut butter does not contain any added oil. But, when roasted peanuts are ground in stone rigorously, it is only natural for them to release their oil. This is how cold-pressed oils have been extracted from oil seeds for thousands of years in India.
Most commercial nut butters are hydrogenated fats. During this process, oil released from the seeds are converted into transfats. This gives them a texture like commercial butter. And, this is essentially how Vanaspathi Ghee (Dalda) is made.
We do not add any additives or emulsifiers to our peanut butter and we most definitely do not hydrogenate it.
Our sweetened peanut butter has peanuts, jaggery and brown salt and nothing else.
