I bought my original organic version from Costco but they stopped carrying it. So I searched online and found it here on Amazon! Price isn't bad at all! With a little experimentation, I really got great results with this product. I like the fact that most of the heavy dense fat has been removed. This makes it easier for me to digest and I don't feel the negative side effects from having a sluggish gut process. But I don't have any negative side effects from this! I've been able to make cookies with this (still experimenting with that) or just mix and eat! It makes a great pad Thai sauce without the calories. I like it much better and it has more flavor to me than normal peanut butter because of the taste comes through without the gooey fat that is in normal peanut butter. I get a lot of energy without the negative side effects. Less fat calories and more protein works for me since I try to avoid too much animal proteins.
You really get a lot of product with this because it needs to be reconstituted with water. So what you get in the dry weight is really a good deal because you get double the stuff once it's reconstituted with water.
My one concern which the PB fit company has not been clear about has to do with aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are found in all kinds of natural foods, including nuts.
Wikipedia: "Aflatoxins are a group of carcinogenic and toxic mold-produced toxins that can severely contaminate food sources. They are primarily produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which are prevalent in warm and humid regions. Aflatoxins can contaminate crops in the field, during storage, and at harvest. They can be found in agricultural crops like peanuts, cottonseed, maize, and tree nuts."
While that being said, I don't believe this product puts us at any more risk than any other nut product with regards to this kind of mold. I would suspect that during the processing of this product, the aflatoxins would be destroyed by the heat process. However, that remains to be confirmed by the PB fit company. So far with inquiries they have not responded.
Nonetheless, if you like peanut butter, you are at no greater risk for anything other than enjoying this lower fat and high protein good tasting product. I will continue to use it!
