Fun fact: they remove the little nub in the middle of the peanut (called the "heart") before making peanut butter. Apparently the heart is more bitter than the two halves.

Observed Fact: If you make butter in blender from Lidl Salted Peanuts it is (very) good only for a day or two, thereafter it tastes little bitter. But you can compensate by adding raisins to the blend.
I'm quite thankful so much of How it's Made is available on youtube by Discovery, curious why they've even done that.
It’s probably so niche that they make more money monetizing it on youtube than putting it on other channels.
Oh no, this is not available in Canada?
Weird! It’s “How It’s Made” about peanut butter. Many of the episodes have British narration, and I watch them in the US.
And it's a Canadian (Quebec) production
