Anyone know where to get these in the UK?

No idea on the powders and never heard of peanut butter powder myself. Peanut butter in a jar should last years if it is unopened and stored at room temperature. The moisture content in peanut butter is very low (~2%) so fungi and bacteria can't live in that. Also, because it has so much oil, water can't get into it. I've read of people eating 6 year old peanut butter from unopened jars/packets and it was still good. I'd be careful of doing that myself, but probably won't think twice about eating from a jar that's been on shelf for 2 or 3 years. Storing peanut butter jars will take up more space, but other than that I don't see a down side?

ps. I love peanut butter and it wasn't even on my list of food stuffs to keep

Added it now

Ferricks - you * - didn't think of there. Bought the PB Powder; found a tomato powder supplier; will hold off on the cheese powder as £20 for 1lb!

Juvecu - yes, I have (ahem!) quite a few jars of PB

I opened one up this morning and the seal hadn't sealed properly. Spread it on my toast anyway. OMG! It was RANK!!!! Anyway, wanted to get some powder as (a) I have a few American survival cookbooks that call for it (b) stores well (c) would be great to put in a BOB [many overseas rescue missions send out PB as a rescue food as it is apparently a complete food group in its own right {protein, salt, sugar, fat etc}] and (d) I am nosey!!!

Oh yes, and it is 85% less calories than normal PB

Want to get the tomato powder as I have a "condensed soup" powdered base that I have mixed up and want to add tomato powder to have home made powdered soup for emergencies.

I'd never heard of peanut butter powder either

and would also stick with the jars as maximising the calories to hand would be more the name of the game for us.
