Are you one of those people who love peanut butter more than any other spread and enjoy adding it to pretty much everything? If that’s the case, you should also make sure you’re storing it properly to reap the benefits of some of its best properties. Here’s how to do it best.
Wrong Place
If you’re storing your peanut butter in a pantry, keep in mind this isn’t always the best spot for natural peanut butters. They tend to spoil much faster than store-bought varieties due to the oils they contain. That’s why you should skip the pantry altogether and store them inside your fridge instead.
Wrong Side
Most people don’t store their peanut butter upside down so it wouldn’t stick to the lead, but this method has its benefits. When you flip your jar open, you won’t have to deal with oily peanut butter, because one quick stir will leave you with the creamiest peanut butter possible.
Wasting Your Jar
It’s common for the peanut butter to stick to the sides, but you shouldn’t let it go to waste. Once your peanut butter jar is almost empty, you should consider tossing some tasty add-ins inside and stir them together to make a delicious “mason jar” meal, such as overnight oats and chia pudding.
