The best peanut butter is...

I had some cinnamon granola peanut butter that was quite enjoyable.

I get Trader Joe's too. One reason is it is cheaper than the processed brands and it is better. I used to like Jiff Extra Chunky, but they reduced the size and kept the price the same, so I decided to switch. I will try the Costco, I am sure it will be fine also.

I have tried store brands, but they all taste pretty bad.

Almond butter is way better than peanut butter anyways. Peanut butter is for triathletes!

Yes, my previous post was more about natural vs processed. I think that that unprocessed is more the way to go, it tastes better to me and is healthier. Yes, Jiff is processed, and that is a contributing factor in my switching.

That is $10 a pound! At least on the site. Trader Joe's has almond butter for $6 or $7. A review on your lind says that they carry it at Costco, I will check and see what it is there.

Yeah, man. Processed food is ruining America, man. Local markets only, man.

Teddy, old-fashioned unsalted super chunky. Nuttin' but nuts.

No No No, you need the salt

Anyone who likes chunky PB is probably communist anyways. You're the same person who likes sugar in your grits and salt on your watermelon.

4 of the Healthiest Peanut Butters to Eat

By Lisa D'Agrosa, Associate Nutrition Editor, EatingWell Magazine.

More than just a sandwich spread, peanut butter deserves a spot on your menu! Its healthy fats, fiber and protein may help you stave off afternoon hunger pangs, says a new study. But not all peanut butter is created equal. Here are our tips for finding the best peanut butter on the shelf.

1. Avoid Oil

Many PBs are still made with hydrogenated oils, which improve the texture but add trans fat. Some replaced those oils with palm oil-a better choice, but high in unhealthy saturated fat. Buy PB with no added oils and stir before spreading.

2. Skip Added Sugars

Some PBs provide 3 to 4 grams of added sugars (about 1 teaspoon per 2-tablespoon serving). Sugar may be listed as: evaporated cane juice, corn syrup solids, high-fructose corn syrup, molasses, honey.

3. Be Wary of "Natural"

It doesn't mean the PB is without added sugars and oils. True natural PB has just peanuts and maybe a little salt (our target sodium is 125 mg or less per serving).

4. Go Full-Fat

Sugar and starchy fillers replace healthy fats in reduced-fat peanut butters, with negligible calorie savings.
