Peanut butter is a delicious and nutritious food, which is widely used in breakfast, baking and various dishes. Many people like to make peanut butter by themselves at home, because it can ensure that the ingredients are fresh and the formula can be adjusted according to personal taste. Then, is it necessary to add edible oil when processing peanut butter with peanut butter machine? Next, we will discuss this issue in detail.
First of all, peanuts are a kind of food with high oil content. High-quality peanuts contain about 40% to 50% oil, and these natural oils will be released during grinding, thus forming thick peanut butter. Therefore, in theory, it is possible to make peanut butter with peanut butter machine without adding additional edible oil, especially for friends who like pure natural taste.
However, whether it is necessary to add edible oil depends on personal taste and machine performance. If you like peanut butter with smoother and more delicate taste, you can add some edible oil, such as vegetable oil or olive oil. This can not only improve the texture of peanut butter, but also make it easier to spread. In addition, some household peanut butter machines have weak power, and may be sticky or not delicate during grinding. At this time, adding a small amount of edible oil can play a lubricating role and make the machine run more smoothly.
It is worth noting that proper amount of edible oil is needed, but too much oil may make peanut butter too thin and affect the taste. At the same time, try to choose tasteless or light-flavored oils to avoid masking the fragrance of peanuts. Besides, if you pay attention to a healthy diet, you can choose healthy vegetable oils, such as olive oil and linseed oil, so that the peanut butter made is not only delicious, but also more nutritious.
In a word, there is no absolute standard answer whether edible oil is needed when processing peanut butter with peanut butter machine, which depends entirely on personal preferences and actual needs. If you pursue pure natural flavor, you don’t have to add edible oil, If you want to improve the taste or the operation effect of the machine, you can add it in moderation.
