Crunchy Peanut Butter Unsweetened (Organic) 300 g

Processing of Organic, Sprout-Activated Peanut Butter (Unsweetened)

1. Selection of Raw Peanuts

– Organic Sourcing: Organic peanuts cultivated by intercropping. These peanuts are non-GMO and grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, ensuring a clean and natural product.

– Sprouting: The peanuts undergo a controlled sprouting process, which involves soaking them in water to initiate germination. This step enhances the bioavailability of nutrients, particularly increasing the levels of vitamins and minerals while reducing anti-nutrients like phytic acid.

2. Roasting

– Even Roasting: The sprouted peanuts are then roasted at a controlled temperature. Roasting enhances the flavor, aroma, and color of the peanuts while maintaining their nutritional integrity. The roasting process is carefully monitored to prevent the formation of harmful compounds and to ensure an even roast.

– Cooling: After roasting, the peanuts are quickly cooled to halt the cooking process, preserving their natural oils and preventing oxidation.

3. Grinding

– Single-Ingredient Grinding: The roasted peanuts are ground into a smooth paste without adding any sugar, salt, or hydrogenated oils. This grinding process typically occurs in stages, starting with coarse grinding and moving to fine grinding to achieve the desired consistency of peanut butter. And tiny bits of peanuts are added to give a crunch.

– Consistency Control: The final texture is smooth, yet retains a natural thickness, ideal for spreading. No emulsifiers are added, so the product may naturally separate, with oil rising to the top.

4. Quality Control and Packaging

– Testing: Before packaging, the peanut butter undergoes rigorous quality control testing, including checks for aflatoxins, microbial contamination, and nutrient content to ensure it meets safety and nutritional standards.

– Packaging: The peanut butter is packaged in BPA-free jars to maintain freshness. The jars are sealed to prevent contamination and preserve the product’s natural taste and texture.
