We love natural peanut butter! But not the way its oil separates to create a gooey unstirrable mess. This clever invention makes short work of that scenario. Just screw it onto any standard 16 oz. peanut butter jar and crank its chrome-plated mixing rod. Oil is smoothly and effortlessly stirred back into your peanut butter. Theres even a gasket that wipes the rod as you remove it and a removable lid liner that make clean-up a snap. No spills. No hassles.

How Peanuts Grow 

The flowers pollinate themselves, and then lose their petals as the fertilized ovary begins to enlarge. The budding ovary grows down and away from the plant forming a small stem or "peg", that extends to the soil. The peanut embryo is in the tip of the peg, which penetrates the soil.
The embryo turns horizontal to the soil surface and begins to mature, taking the form of the peanut.

Peanuts Index 

Harvesting peanuts occurs in two stages. First a machine is used to cut off the main root of the peanut plant by cutting through the soil just below the level of the peanut pods. Then the same machine lifts the "bush" from the ground and shakes it. Then the machine inverts the bush to leave the plant upside down on the ground to keep the peanuts out of the dirt. This allows the peanuts to slowly dry to a bit less than a third of their original moisture level over a period of 2-3 weeks while they are left upside down on the field. After the peanuts have dried sufficiently, they will then be threshed. This removes the peanut pods from the rest of the bush.
