Which brand of peanut butters do u guys prefer or recommend?

i checked the labels of Skippy and Organic ones at jusco and i see very little difference in protein and fat content. Only difference is organic ones are priced twice as much than normal ones

Not sure about Protein Content, but Steffi's has the least sugar content as I find it to be the least sweet among other brands. It's really rich in Peanut taste, so I guess there's alot of protein.

Try looking out for it. Can be found in Carrefour.

Duh. They are both made from peanuts... of course they both have the same protein and fat content.

It's the way they are planted that are different.

It's not the protein content that matters, but how the manufacturers prepared them.

Natural peanut butter tend to seperate at room temperature (oil will float on top) because its melting point is 3 deg celcius. Manufacturers then hydrogenate the oil to maintain its creamy consistency. This will create transfat, and this is the evilest of all fat out there (more evil than saturated fat).

Nowadays instead of doing that, some manufacturers add palm oil into the mix because they liquify at 35 degrees, so there's no need to hydrogenate.

If you really want to find good peanut butters, go to Cold Storage or Jusco supermarket, where you can have wider range of peanut butters instead of your hydrogenated Jiff and Ladies Choice.

For organic peanut butters, it's just how they farm the peanuts and what they put inside the peanut butter - with pesticides or no pesticides, with organic sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

so bottom line is... any peanut butter in the supermarket will do? juz watch for hydrogenated fat rite?

Yeap. Or if you're still too paranoid, make one yourself, it's not very hard.

Took Steffi's and Adam's before, Steffi's saltier whereas Adam's slightly sweeter.

I prefer the peanut butter with that chocolate stripe. It tastes better.

The chocalate stripe is the Lady's Choice brand?

tats where the excess sugar comes in.
well tasty food are always the unhealthy ones.
(ken is so gonna correct my sentence )

i like adam's 100% natural peanut butter cos the only ingredent is peanut n nothing else

let the oil separate lah, can use for cookin also.

u mean the oil inside the peanut butter? It should be stirred instead

i'm still struggling to find adam's PB in PJ area. any idea?

sad to say, my source here has been cut too...

it should b stirred, but tat doesn't mean u can't do something else with it

got it from Jaya Grocer, Empire

Does the peanuts in the peanut butter cause u to have more pimples?Cos many people said to avoid peanuts cos it will make u have more pimples

That is a myth, there is no scientific prove that peanut butter caused acne.
Only if you are allergic.

p/s: When buying peanut butter from shops, avoid those that contain hydrogenated oils, they bring harm to our body. The reason behind them is cause "consumer don't have to stir the oil on top of the peanut butter", always get natural salt and peanut.
