If you saw a gigantic tub in the bulk section of your local organic co-op labeled mystery butter $1.69 lb... would you by some??

Let me give you a little frame of reference... it's next to the gigantic bulk tubs of peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter... you get the point. Just grab a container (or bring your own) and with a big ladle, fill up on as much as you like... well maybe not as much as you want.... more on that later.

I did just that and very excitedly headed back to work where I toasted up some nice whole wheat bread and slathered on the mystery!!


Mystery butter is apparently very popular since there is a sign next to it saying "Limit of two 5 lb buckets per customer" Last time I was in the co-op they were sold out of the stuff... But seriously 10 lbs of mystery butter??? How large are these people who are buying this stuff in that huge of a quantity?? And they are limiting you to TWO 5 POUND container... how many containers were people trying to by??? How much mystery butter can one eat in a day?? Does anyone else find this 10 lb limit scary??

So what is mystery butter you ask? My guess is at the end of the week whatever scraps are left from all the other nut butters get plopped together to make the "mystery butter". Fun idea though right? My batch of mystery tasted heavy to the cashew with a little bit of almond and sunflower as well.

Either way... I'm totally picking up some more... it's darn tasty, and organic to boot! :)
