Product Information

They also recommend Poochie Peanut Butter, a brand of peanut butter developed especially for dogs. This type of peanut butter contains health-boosting natural ingredients like turmeric, flaxseed, parsley, and ginger. Thousands of dogs are poisoned each year by eating food containing xylitol, including peanut butter. The following brands are common grocery store shelf staples but contain added transfats, sweeteners, and other unnecessary ingredients. Pet owners should not share these peanut butters with their dog. Joseph L. Rosefield patented in 1921 [3] a nonseparating, partially hydrogenated peanut oil peanut butter and licensed his patent to Derby Foods, a subsidiary of Swift & Company. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

No emulsifiers: "Emulsifiers are often added to prevent separation and give nut butters body and texture. Some research suggests emulsifiers may cause low-grade inflammation in the gut and have a negative impact on the microbiome," says Penner.In later years, after the E.K. Pond Co. was scrapped and the product flew under the Derby Foods name, the label and advertising imagery were based more on the popular theatrical version of the Peter Pan character—routinely and kind of weirdly portrayed by a grown woman (Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, Cathy Rigby, etc.). Containers shifted from tin to glass to plastic, and a deal was eventually worked out with Disney to start using their slightly less creepy Peter Pan depiction (an actual boy) after the 1953 film. From there, heavy TV advertising and show sponsorships made Peter Pan one of those classic, ubiquitous American food brands. Once in America, peanuts were grown commercially in North Carolina as early as 1818 and in Virginia as early as the 1840’s. In the 1890’s, George Washington Carver, who worked at the Alabama Tuskegee Institute, started to use the peanut as a replacement crop for the whipped out cotton crops destroyed by weevils. Peanut Uses Other Than Peanut Butter Zero or low levels of added oils: "Oils, especially fully- or partially-hydrogenated oils, should not be in your PB. These are often added to extend shelf-life and prevent separation but can have negative impacts on blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increase the risk of heart disease," says Penner. Xylitol is a sugar substitute found in many foods, including Peanut Butter and chewing gum – it’s purpose is to give these foods a pleasant sweet taste.

But your dog doesn’t know this. He will happily gulp down peanut butter that contains xylitol – unaware that this could be his last treat ever. With every spoonful, Peter Pan delivers wholesome energy and a delicious taste that nurture the simple joys of everyday adventure. Wondrous reasons abound to believe in the magic of Peter Pan Nut Butter: Of course you know, however, that peanuts aren’t really nuts, they’re legumes. A legume is a dry fruit that has a seam on two sides. Legumes are also known as pods. With most legumes, the seam opens on two sides. The peanut’s pod, however, does not split open like other legumes (at least not by itself.)

What are some benefits of peanut butter?

Around this time, Dr. John Kellogg, the staff physician at Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, also began making peanut paste for his patients. He tried to get his patients to become vegetarian, so this was a way for them to get protein and avoid eating meat. He and his brother, W.K. Kellogg, actually patented a peanut butter process. The patent was granted in 1895, stating peanut butter to be “a pasty adhesive substance that is for convenience of distinction termed nut butter.” The peanut butter by the Kellogg brothers steamed the peanuts and then grinded them (which gave it a different taste from today’s roasted peanuts used for peanut butter.) The Kellogg brothers then focused on their cereal, which was sold as the Kellogg brand worldwide. The peanut had to get to the United States somehow from Peru. So how did this happen? It is believed that the peanut made it to Africa from Peru by early explorers of South America. Then, the peanut was traded to Spain, and from Spain to the American colonies. Sugar– Refers to sucrose, caramel, corn syrup molasses, and other forms. Some peanut butters add multiple types of sugar. While sugar may not be immediately harmful to dogs, it can lead to an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. [ 4] In the United States, law governs that peanut butter contain at least 90% peanuts. What this means is that if you make a lowfat version of peanut butter you have to call it something else, like a nut spread. Keep this in mind if you’re planning on developing a new peanut butter process and marketing it yourself as the next Peter Pan!
