Powdered Peanut Butter

By Small and Big’s on-staff “food” reviewer

The future is here! Who’da thunk it’d arrive as peanut butter? There officially exists in the world something called PB₂, Powdered Peanut Butter, by Bell Plantation (go there) in Georgia, USA. I know this because a friend gave me a half jar of it. Why? Because it’s weird, has 75% less fat, isn’t bad, and is half eaten. It’s the perfect gift for me.

Actually, PB₂ is surprisingly good—just a bit flatter tasting when compared to regular butter o’ peanuts. (Unfortunately, folks allergic to peanuts would still be allergic to it.) I figure the manufacturing process goes like this:

1) Take a peanut
2) Squeeze the heck out of it
3) Put the powdered stuff in a peanut butter container
     and the oily stuff in a peanut oil container

It’s edible in powdered form but is really meant to be turned back into peanut butter by you, the “consumer.” Just add water. PB₂ + H₂O is a creamy combination, just like the regular old-fashioned non-Jetsons kind.

Anyone seen my powdered water?
