I saw this stuff in the local outdoor shop, and being the curious creature that I am, I had to buy some. I thought it would taste horrid, but it's actually just like regular peanut butter and I've found it to be more versatile (as it mixes more readily with other things). It's also lighter than a similar sized jar of pre-mixed peanut butter, making it easier to pack/hike with.

Normally I'm not big on odd survival/hiking foods, preferring to stick with more traditional foods.....but I really like this one. grin

If it's in powdered form, it should make a darned nice thickening agent. I've used regular peanut butter before for that, and it takes a while to activate, but eventually it comes around.

I have a great recipe for cookies with PB and Special K cereal. It is really hard to mix by hand, thanks in part to the thickness of the PB. I may have to look for some of this stuff and try it, might be a lot easier on the old shoulder...

They sucked all the fat out. That is what makes PB such a great survival food in the first place. I'd use it as a thickener and protein source in the kitchen, but I don't see it in my pack.

On spot, ironraven.

Also, nuts and grains that have been milled lose their nutrients faster than if kept whole.

Hmm, so without the oils, is powdered peanut butter low-fat?

The Reeces Pieces factoid is interesting, considering that I love them.
