Whole Earth peanut butter

[Mark Parrott]

Bought a jar of this as it was half price. I'm generally not a fan of peanut butter, but this is really nice.🙂

I prefer this one. I love peanut butter.

Yup it is nice. For a long while I used another brand, can't remember the name it was verrrry nice, nothing added other than roasted peanuts, peanut oil and some salt, trouble was it was rather runny I was ending up with quite a bit on me rather than in me 😱 IMO whole earth is the next best one it's tasty and all ends up where it's supposed to be

I find it's higher carb (not to mention three times the price) than Tesco Value peanut butter...so I tend to buy the cheaper stuff. Even with added sugar, it's lower carb because it's got a higher oil content.

Yeah Whole Earth is the best by far - crunchy of course.

 

[Mark Parrott]

Oh yes, deffo the crunchy one. I've just had a generous helping on a slice of Burgen toast & testing. BG before: 5.0. 1hr after: 5.7. Will do 2hr check at 2.45.🙂

 

[Mark Parrott]

Well, 2hrs after: 6.3. Happy with that. In fact no different to slice of burgen on it's own.🙂

If there is a jar of peanut butter in our house it doesn't last 10 mins.

Hello
Have you thought of making your own? All you need is the round plastic attachment with blade on the base that you get for example with the "Braun MR550MCA hand blender and chopper" (other brands are available!), KP peanuts (don't use cheaper brands as it tastes awful) and the best quality olive oil you can afford.
Just add nuts and oil into the round chopper attachment and blend until smooth. If you want crunchy peanut butter add some nuts at the end and give it a quick wizz.
It tastes fantastic and is low in carbs. Not sure how long it lasts as when I make it I always find an excuse to eat it.
You can always experiment with other nuts - Brazil butter tastes good too. Give it a try, what's there to lose?

 

[Mark Parrott]

I've got one of those plastic attachments on our blender. I'll give it a go. Thanks.🙂

I use Meridian which contains just peanuts and salt. My issue with the Whole Earth one was the fact it contains palm oil. They do now however make a 100% peanut one. i.e. no salt, palm oil or anything else.

 

[Mark Parrott]

I thought the Whole Earth one didn't use palm oil. Didn't check the label. Oh well.

 

[Vicsetter]

Whole Earth says sustainable palm oil. If your jar isn't big enough I recently found a 1kg plastic tub of it (I think it was from Makro).

 

[Mark Parrott]

Ive seen them tubs. Ideal if you want to rub it over your body.

Your right, they do say sustainable palm oil.

Hi what is Burgen Toast , I am currently looking for wheat free bread, but cannot find many, is burgen bread the same

 

[Ditto]

Is palm oil bad for you? I luvs peanut butter, but not sure which one to buy.

Never seen Burgen Toast. (just reread Mark's post, it's just Burgen bread toasted) Burgen bread is not wheat free although they do make a wheat free bread, I have never seen it. See their web site; http://www.burgenbread.com/nutritionist/

P.S. you can print off a coupon from their website which gives you 30p off a loaf.

The difference between whole earth and tesco value is very small both in terms of fat and carb content. I think you must be talking about the effect it has on you, personally, as I am sure you know that the fat content doesn't affect the carb content, only the effect of the carbs.

Thanks , seams that our local Asda sell it , will give it a go.
