EatingWell tastes natural peanut butters


Whether you like them or not, there is no escaping the fact that natural peanut butters are healthier than their more processed counterparts because they contain no trans-fats. It can be hard to decide on a brand when you have reached for the same Skippy or Jif brands for so many years. EatingWell magazine took the time to review several brands and the health-conscious taste testers - ranging from a toddler to an attorney - picked their favorites:

  • Nut ‘N Better Organic: Creamy - Smooth and silky, this peanut butter is sold under the Safeway Organics "O" brand.
  • Smucker’s Natural: Creamy - With a very peanutty flavor, this brand was named "the crunchy-lover's smooth" and can be found in most grocery stores.

 

  • MaraNatha Organic: Creamy & Roasted - Comes in honey roasted and no-stir varieties, for those who can't bring themselves to mix in the oil found on top of many natural peanut butters. It may not be available locally, but it is sold online.
  • Peanut Butter & Co.: Smooth Operator - No added sugar, for true peanut lovers. This is another brand that is available online, but can also be found in stores like Whole Foods and Bristol Farms.
  • Other brands tasters liked included Woodstock Farms Organic, Smooth/Salted and Teddie Old Fashioned, Smooth
  • For those who prefer chunky peanut butter, many of these brands are available with nutty bits stirred in.

    Tip of the Day

    Even though the crust of your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving turned out flaky and buttery, consider everyone "pie"-ed out. Try these non-pie ways to use up leftover disk of dough.
