Meridian Organic 100 Percent Smooth Peanut Butter 1 Kg (Pack of 3)

Time was, not so long ago, when peanut butter consisted of ground up peanuts, a pinch of salt and nothing else. And life was good. Back in those heady days I began noticing an occasional jar labelled "American Style" peanut butter, which to my bemusement also contained sugar!! People do say that whatever happens in America eventually happens here too, and what do you know - along with obesity, crack cocaine and cruise missiles the adulterated super-sweet travesty that was American Style peanut butter has become simply "peanut butter" Practically everything is jacked up with unnecessary sugar that kills the taste and gives us more diabetes. So I heartily applaud Meridian for standing firm and making peanut butter naturally and how it should be - no hydrogenated oil, imulsifiers, chemicals or sweeteners, just whole ground organic peanuts. Hoorah!Even better, the nuts used here were left with their brown skins on which gives us even more taste, fibre and nutrient content. This spread has a really good deeply nutty, earthy taste that goes wonderfully on toast, mixed into dips, used in cooking and more besides. Spread onto warm freshly baked bread is my idea of heaven. Just remember to give your tub a deep stir every time to mix the natural oil back in - as I say, there are no added emulsifiers. To my mind the taste beats anything else available which is why I subscribe and purchase a regular supply here (I also enjoy the extra 15% discount from doing so!) Mine comes double sealed inside clingfilm and a bag and has never leaked.As well as tasting great, peanut butter is good for you, and here's why: It's a good source of protein (pretty much 30%) plus the fats are mostly healthy mono and polyunsaturates. The high vitamin B12 and B2 content is beneficial to your skin. Vitamin B2 supplements are often used to get rid of skin problems like pustules, skin rash and rosacea and B2 is beneficial in promoting healthy hair growth. The calcium and magnesium content is excellent for promoting healthy bone growth too. Recently reported meta-research has indicated that far from being a risk to infants, early inclusion of PB into their diet helps to normalise reaction to nuts and so reduces the development of nut allergies by a notable factor. Please do your own research on that and speak to your doctor before implementing this information though.So in summary this is delicious and tasty peanut butter that's high quality, cheaper in this tub size than most adulterated rubbish, and it's good for you too! If you prefer, Meridian make a crunchy version, but I prefer this for better nutrient absorption which is also ideal for body builders and athletes. Really delicious stuff - buy your own.FOOTNOTE: No Americans were harmed in the production of this review.

This is the best peanut butter I've ever eaten! I have IBD & can only eat organic peanut butter which has been a godsend as I'm very restricted in what I can actually eat. Ordinary peanut butter not only upsets me but I also find it far too sweet. The taste of this, however, for me is addictively delicous & I also love the fact that the oil is natural peanut oil. It states quite clearly on the tub that the oil rises to the top & all you need to do is blend it in with the peanut butter. This information is also on Amazon's description of this product so it will only come as a surprise if the info hasn't been read. However anyone who is after the real thing without any additives, sugar, or artifical ingredients included won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Having moved to Italy from the states, we realized a dearth of peanut butter here. Admittedly, it's one of the few things we were missing. I ordered this as a surprise for my hubby who now delights in an afternoon snack of toast smothered with PB. Tastes great, almost like an organic PB we once bought in California. The only thing I don't appreciate is the plastic tub as we're trying to reduce our consumption of plastic. I do, however, like the large quantity (would be quite heavy in glass, no doubt) and it's a reasonable price for organic.

Peanut butter & marmite spread on toast for breakfast is a firm family favourite - this product isn't overly sweet with a much more natural taste. My only regret is that dear Mr Amazon packaged the tub in a very large cardboard box & secured it with large sheets of crumpled thick paper (a wee box would have sufficed. Less waste and therefore ultimately less tree destruction and space used in the vans. )

Great stuff thank you

The flavour is amazing but I would recommend buying it from a shop .I was disappointed in packaging and mine came bashed up and was all over the box I was lucky to say there was just under half left in tub but I couldn't keep it cause incase I came ill with it being already being bashed up before I got it

I received damaged product. It was not sealed and box was broken in the packing. There is no way to return or replace it. Money wasted.

Healthy peanut butter, good value for the quantity! Cheaper to buy it like this than the supermarket especially as organic too. Me and my child and my dog love this.

Muy rico! El embalaje no era el mejor ya que con algún golpe se debió derramar algo de un envase. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra, la calidad es muy alta y seguramente volveré a comprar el pack de 3.

Best peanut butter we ever had! Service was quick! Will definitely order again!

The peanut butter was leaked around the package. wouldn't buy it.

Der Eimer Erdnussbutter kam heute unversehrt bei mir an und wurde natürlich direkt probiert. Ungewohnt ist die Konsistenz der Masse. Wenn man die nur die übliche Erdnussbutter aus dem Supermarkt gewohnt ist, die ziemlich streichfest ist, wundert man sich vielleicht beim ersten öffnen des Eimers über die etwas flüssigere Konsistenz. Lässt sich zwar durch ordentliches umrühren der Masse etwas beheben, die Konsistenz der Supermarkt- Erdnussbutter wird jedoch nicht erreicht. Dies soll keine Kritik sein, nur eine Anmerkung meinerseits. Zum Geschmack: Man kann wirklich schmecken dass hier nur Erdnüsse verarbeitet wurden. Kein Zucker, kein Salz oder sonstiges auf dass man eben bei einer gesunden Ernährung verzichten möchte. Für mich absolute Kaufempfehlung.

Salve, ci presentiamo siamo la carta d'imballaggio e la scatola di cartone che conteneva l'ottimo burro di arachidi; siamo stati ben trattati nel nostro viaggio dalla extra bretagna all'africana sicilia, la lunghezza del viaggio e la precaria chiusura del barattolo ci hanno consentito l'ingozzamento di ben 200 gr di burro, veramente buono: Ci appelliamo a Voi acquirenti di questo ottimo prodotto ( a detta anche dell'umano che ha quasi finito i restanti 800 gr, tanto era buono): fate sì che il pacco viaggi per più tempo possibile, rinunciate alla spedizione Prime, darete la possibilità ad altri nosti compari dell'imballaggio di assaporare la prelibatezza del prodotto. PS e non potete immaginare la felicità della colonia di formichine residenti nel cassonetto della differenziata carta in strada, anche le loro larve ne trarranno beneficio.
