Nuts over Peanut Butter

Extracted: SimplyHer SINGAPORE APR2008 on 3April2008

Yes yes... I am a sucker for Peanut Butter... and I happen to come across this interesting article on nothing, but peanut butter! There are so many different brands of peanut butter... and how true are the reviews by this editor? hehe... give me 6 weeks and I will have my own reviews on 3 of the Peanut Butter... The article only review on the taste... Lets look at the Nutritional Content.

Adam 100% Natural Peanut Butter
454g @ $4.25
Skippy Super Chunky (Reduced Fat)
510g@ $4.20
Peter Pan Crunchy
794g @ $3.95


Adams: Transfat free, Very Low Carbs due to no sugar added, with only 1g of sugar which occurs naturally I supposed. Pretty high sodium as it is salted. There is a unsalted version, but it will taste very bland. 8g of Protein...

Peter Pan: 16g of Fats and is also transfat free, but sat. fats is slightly higher. Low Carbs, but higher sugar level of 3g.
Skippy (reduced fats) : Lower Fat of 12g as it is the reduced fat version. But reduced fats would mean higher carbs as you can see. A whopping 15g of carbs, and highest sugar level among all - 4g. Protein is the least, of 7g.

Nutritional-wise - Adam wins

What about...
Ease of spreading?
Intensity of Nutty taste?
Intensity of Buttery taste?
Sweetness?
Saltiness?
Any Aftertaste?
Texture?

Stay tune...

Well, I'm sure that you noticed the use of 'Hydrogenated Vegetable oil' in the Skippy and the Peter Pan Peanut Butter. This is not so good for health.

You are better off with the Adams version.

Yum-crunchy! :D

In the health food shops here, they have machines with peanuts in them. You put a container under it, push the button and it smashed the peanuts for you and makes peanut butter. It's really really really yummy :)

Have you tried peanut butter and honey on toast? Peanut butter with cheese is also nice.

foodiegymmie: I saw your question on HWZ's forum. Why did you ask when you say here in this post that Adam's is available at NTUC?

Otherwise you can always get it from Jasons, Paragon and Tanglin marketplace. :)
