Might have to stock up again (shame my wife does not work at Tesco anymore for the 10% discount :disappointed: ).

Thanks.

Currently £4.89 add-on item for 1 KG in Amazon lightning deals if anyone interested.
Should be easy to beat £4.89 but the price of this stuff does tend to fluctuate.

I've been using this for years. Usually by buying the 1kg tubs but this is cheaper for the weight.

It is fantastic that it has no added sugar, salt or palm oil. I hate that those things are all added to most supermarket PB as it turns it from a health food to absolute junk. The stupid thing is it still tastes great like this without everything added. The only downside is it isn't stable. The oil will separate to the top so you have to stir it all the time.

If you're used to the sugary garbage most brands are it may taste slightly bland at first but it just takes getting used to. It's also great to use in things. My porridge gets a spoon of it mixed in and also in smoothies.

Cadbury use palm oil (labelled as "vegetable fat") in their chocolate in the UK these days which is part of the reason it doesn't taste as good as it used to. The only reason they use it is that it's cheap. In NZ there was a consumer boycott of Cadbury when they introduced palm oil because of the orangutan issue and they had to go back to using dairy products. Cadbury uk are owned by Kraft USA and couldn't care less.

I'd have this with an apple so the juices give it a better consistency making it taste amazing. Give this brands almond butter or even better cashew butter a try, I guarantee you''ll love it

Regarding Palm Oil, it's not the health effects that are a good reason to avoid it. Palm oil production is causing deforestation and is threatening extinction to the orang-utans and Sumatran Tigers.

can't be wasting time cleaning a spoon, I just empty the jar using celery!

I bought 4 when it was on offer for a pound. It's quite runny the oil needs stirring in, but even so it is not as 'set' as Whole Earth, probably no a problem if you're going to spread it on your toast, but if you eat it by the teaspoon like my wife does, it's a problem!

Not 100% peanuts


Peanuts are high in good fats and protein. 100g of it isn't even a quarter of an average mans daily calorie requirements.

Palm oil isn't much better than trans fats, it's linked with insulin resistance and inflammation, sugar then compounds those two issues.

Ok I'm not saying that having a bit of common or garden peanut butter is going to give you heart disease or diabetes on it's own, but palm oil and sucrose are just empty calories and then with the added salt it's just ingredients which have negative health effects added because people are conditioned to like the taste.

Cutting them out you soon adapt your tastes to the point now that anything other than 100% peanut butter tastes like junk to me.

"Full of palm oil, salt and sugar" thus causing "heart disease and diabetes" is a huge over reation.

Look at Tesco's bog standard peanut butter with added sugar, salt and oil, hardly going to be a problem:
per 15g tablespoon.
Salt - 0.1g
Sugar - 0.3g
Saturates - 1.6g

Peanut butter is very high in fat and thus calories so you shouldn't be eating much of it anyway so eat whichever one you enjoy. Some people prefer this, others prefer the small additions such as oil to make it tastier and easier to use. :smiley:

This works out cheaper than whole earth at the moment a 454g costs £3.19, I used to eat whole earth butter before I switched to meridian 2 years ago, always have this stuff around wether it's from tesco offers or Holland and Barratt but one get one half price

That's cos whole earth is 97% peanuts and has added palm oil and salt

Oh if you also like marmite try my creation of little bit of marmite spread on butter toast then meridian on top of that.

Whole Earth tastes better than this.

Proper 100% peanut butter all tastes the same in my experience, is there a better one you can suggest or are you comparing with the heart disease and diabetes waiting to happen junk most brands sell which is full of palm oil, salt and sugar?

Very good product, i bought a few when it was £1. Ill prob go back to cheapo nutbutters tho cos i hate having to keep stiring the oil back in.

one of the best tasting peanut butters ever. The only complain I can have about this is that it is scarily addictive. Hot

I stopped getting this when I saw you can get 1kg tubs for just a fiver. both varieties too. I personally use myprotein, but originally Holland and Barrett.

Stocked up when it was £1 each few months back.
Still hot as this is pure peanuts and nothing added.

warning - very addictive

This stuff is brilliant. 0g Salt content which is a blessing to menniers disease sufferers.

good find op, heat

Thought this was made by McCain's at first. Looks nice. Will try it.

Thanks

Can a mod move this from audiovisual as the app is playing about
