In my many years of research one of the things I have learned is that you have to grind up flax seed in order to reap the nutritional benefits. Seeds go in, seeds come out. :)

@sugarjunkie01 ~ Very good point. We have actually started to grind them first then throw them in. Also makes it a little less 'crunchy' since we like smooth PB. They were getting ground a bit - but not enough....we'd always find the lone whole seed or so. And yep, goes right through (o:

How many cups of peanuts did you use? Could we use wheat germ in place of the flax?

[thewheatguy]

@16hilltyKMS ~ Hi! Sorry for the super slow reply. I'm not getting notices for some reason.

I think you could try wheat germ...but it may make it kind of dry. Give it a little test though.

I eyeball the peanuts every time....It's close to 2 cups.

Let me know if you try wheat germ and how you like it. I'd cut the amount in half at first though....but that's just me.

Best of success!

Is the Stevia optional

[thewheatguy]

@16hilltyKMS ~ Yes the stevia is optional. We just use it to keep the sugar down but still have sweet PB.

You could toy with the sugar amount and see what you like. Honey *can* work but it gives it more of a spun-sugar type consistency.

@valbakke - I use roasted but not dry roasted. So it would be regular salted peanuts like in the snack isle.

Do you use dry roasted peanuts?
