Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter
(Peanut Butter) We only purchase pure peanut butter with no other ingredients added.  This particular brand's label lists the only ingredient as: organically grown, dry roasted, unblanched valencia peanuts.  We use peanut butter for sandwiches, sauces, and in making our vegan slushies and ice cream.  We could not find complete nutritional data for this type of peanut butter; however, we suspect that it would be the same as that of peanuts, which has the same fat, protein, and carbohydrate percentages according to the label.  Below is the nutritional chart for dry roasted peanuts.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
