If it’s anything like scientific grade peanut butter then yeah, it’s expensive! https://shop.nist.gov/ccrz__ProductDetails?sku=2387&cclcl=en_US
I just sent this to my wife and told her I ordered some peanut butter on line.
It’s a NIST reference standard. The ur-peanut butter, against which all peanut butter shall be compared (in the United States).
There’s a Nilered video on youtube where he makes an extremely expensive cookie out of reference ingredients
Be forewarned that it’s extremely frustrating to watch. His general chemistry content is very interesting and well explained. But whenever he has to cook anything he becomes a complete doofus that cannot handle even the most basic of research. Like the man will research dozens of papers for hours and successfully make aerogel but then waste thousands of dollars in reference materials because he googled “cookie recipe” and just wrote down the first thing he found without reading anything about the process or technique
His coffee roasting video is similar and it makes me wonder if the food videos he makes are simply rage bait. He doesn’t post them often (frankly he doesn’t post often in general) so I genuinely wonder if he just really despises cooking and baking
