PB&J was a major staple of my school lunches in elementary school. goober grape showed up on the scene at some point. eventually, i found PB&J to be nauseating and couldn't eat it for many years until i was an adult. to this day i still have negative feelings about grape jelly. strawberry preserves on the other hand...mmmmm. |

| Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: A Goober Grape poll! I was a wilderness canoe guide for two summers, and peanut butter and jelly were two things that we brought on each trip. We'd spread them on bagels for a couple of the lunches. We kept the jelly in ~1 pint nalgene containers (no not bottles) and it wouldn't be refrigerated for the whole trip. Never had any problems at all. If you're worried about things getting too warm, just keep it in the middle of your pack and keep the pack out of the sun. We'd also take a hunk of cheddar cheese with us and often wouldn't finish it until day three or maybe day four. While it was oily by that time, it was still fine to eat. There are plenty of things that are fine to keep without refrigeration for a few days that will still be perfectly edible. That being said, I wouldn't touch goober-grape with a 10-foot pole. BUT, I do understand the appeal of things like that for little kids. Have a good camping trip. Last thing, we get bulk organic peanut butter from our local co-op (ingredients: peanuts). It doesn't need to be refrigerated at all. Edited by paddle2paddle 2008-06-08 9:26 AM |

YUM! Seriously, I almost never eat PB&J any more, except when we go on longer, organized rides and I get a half sandwich at almost every sag just to keep the calories coming in. Not sure why, but there's something about it that works great for long bike rides. |

| Elite 3371 | Subject: RE: A Goober Grape poll! I love PB&J. That being said, Goober Grape make me hurl. But technically, I suppose its safe to eat, even when warm. |

| Pro 4339 Husker Nation | Subject: RE: A Goober Grape poll! Not sure how I feel about this line: Under normal conditions, unopened products should remain safe to eat indefinitely. Edit: I voted "no" for refrigeration anyway, simply because that stuff SUCKS to try and spread when cold. Edited by Bripod 2008-06-09 11:52 AM |

Edit: I voted "no" for refrigeration anyway, simply because that stuff SUCKS to try and spread when cold. And the winner is.... Food Science Moment Beyond the preservative systems that are in it (I think I read sodium benzoate or potessium sorbate) the products have a few other things working for them. First, the water activity (moisture available for bacteria to grow) of the peanut butter is low enough that most pathogens won't grow (spoilage organisms might like mold and yeast and stuff but not bacteria). Two, the sugar content of the jelly is also probably high enough where the osmotic pressure won't allow most organisms other than spoilage ones (again probably only yeasts or molds) to grow. Finally, I would be willing to wager that the product is hot filled into the jars (150F or higher) which will significantly reduce the amount of bacteria that is alive when filled. That is your science lesson for the day. |
