Taste It: Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter is one of my all time favorite foods - in a sandwich, on a spoon, mixed with chocolate. It's genius.

Thanks to health orgs nutritional overshare, though, I'm keenly aware that regular old peanut butter has corn syrup and other chemical unsundries so I switched to the all natural variety that is just peanuts and maybe salt.

Turns out you have to store those in the fridge and half the time I don't have the strength to stir that top layer of oil into the blob of peanut.

Jif and Skippy to the rescue!
They have lines of natural peanut butter with peanuts, salt and palm oil. I think one version has sugar, too - but it's plain ol' sugar and not corn syrup. Bonus - no stirring necessary and they're shelf stable.

But which one would I buy? A taste-off was in order with the assistance of the lovely Alie.
















The Verdict: Both offer mouthfuls of creamy peanut butter goodness.

Jif had a more roasted taste with a stronger oily consistency.
Skippy's was smoooooooth like butta.
As with most peanut butters, I'd put any on a sandwich.

Don't get on my case about them not being organic. La-la-la-la-la-la. I. Can't. Hear. You.
