Peanut butter warning issued over common storing issue - here's how to fix it
Did you know that storing peanut butter incorrectly can ruin its texture, flavor, and even its shelf life?
Many people make a simple mistake that leads to oil separation, spoilage, or hard-to-spread peanut butter. Here’s what you need to know!
⚠️ The Common Storage MistakeLeaving peanut butter in a warm place—like near the stove or in direct sunlight—causes the oils to separate and speeds up spoilage. This can lead to:
❌ Runny peanut butter on top, dry and hard on the bottom
❌ Rancid smell and off taste
❌ Mold growth in extreme cases
✅ How to Fix & Store Peanut Butter Properly
🔹 For Regular Peanut Butter (like Skippy or Jif): Store in a cool, dark pantry—not the fridge! This keeps it smooth and spreadable.
🔹 For Natural Peanut Butter: Stir well before use and store it upside down to prevent oil separation. Refrigerate if you don’t use it often.
By following these simple tips, you’ll extend the life of your peanut butter and keep it fresh, creamy, and delicious! 🥄😋
