Marketing is funny.

I can’t understand how they calculate it to be 12% fat.

4g/fat x 9cal/gram = 36

36 divided by 110/total calories = 32% fat in each serving

I'm glad you figured it out. @sidsmom All in all it's still a lot  less than peanuts with all of their fat.

OK...I’ll settle down.  =

I just hate marketing lies. 

....and don’t even get me started with the 2%Milk lie!

@SilleeMee  It isn't a lie.  Whole milk contains about 3.25 percent fat as I remember, 2 percent has 2 percent milk fat, and 1 percent, 1.  What's a lie about that? At least that's the way I have always known it to be.  Although some cows produce milk with more than 4 percent milk fat, commercial milk has the above fat content standards in it.  

Back in the day, a lot of milk was higher fat from different breeds of cows and wow was it good!  

I have made peanut butter in my Vitamix, then I make a banana smoothie before I clean itout and that gets it pretty clean, then just hot water and soap and whiz it's clean.   I just buy it ground at the local natural foods store.  They keep fresh ground and it is so good and so easy!

Hi. I only made cashew butter, once. It was a little rough on the motor but I put too much in there. It was smooth perfection, but I agree with those who said it's not worth the hassle. My favorite peanut butter the past year or so has been Santa Cruz dark roasted, which I buy from vitacost when it's on sale. It's so flavorful! Just love it. All natural too. Trader Joe's is all natural, good and a really good price as well! Just my two cents. I have to have peanut butter around. Almond butter too.

I buy all my raw, organic nuts from Whole Foods. I like doing peanut butter with cashews or pecans. Two ingredients... that's it! I'm a cancer fighting nutritionist and my patients love fresh nut butters and filling, protein and nutritious. I've also made almond Butter and make my own almond milk. Soak the raw almonds overnight in h20 ( any nuts actually) and use filtered h20 and make my own milk. No more better nutritious milk than that. It cannot get any simple than that! Enjoy.
