Ill try the Fiji ginger almond butter in the future. Ive already loved the coconut one.

one day Ill just buy Costco almond butter to compare :-)
I've tried plenty of those organic peanut butters and if I'm being completely honest none of them holds a match to Kraft.

The two left ones are what Ive already bought: toasted coconut almond butter and chocolate almond butter, both with sea salt. I too refuse to buy the maple syrup one :-)

If its Kraft 100% peanuts plus salt, then sure Ill agree. I dont want any of the peanut butters unless its 100% peanut & salt. Plus crunchy.
there are too many peanut butter skus with sugar, Palm, or other weird ingredients; sometimes its because of no stir or no refrigeration

also in USA I dont recall Kraft having a peanut butter; JM Smuckers (formerly P&G) have most of the shelf space besides private label. I dont even know if Unilever / Nestle carry a peanut butter. Also I didnt know that peanut butter was popular in Australia.

I am shocked that you don't buy your peanut butter at Costco. 2 huge jars of Skippy super chunk shrink wrapped together. I can't remember the price but it is often on sale and I am sure the 2 jars sell for what you are paying for one jar of store brand. Not organic but I don't care.

The major brands all include sugar. It's the reason I don't buy them...not only is it too sweet but why should there be sugar in peanut butter?

No Adams (Smucker brand) where you are? You can even get it in a nothing-added version.

Because it's addictive and (excessive) sweet(ness) is, apparently, what the North American (primarily U.S.) market appears to crave.

Re: the Adam's PB, I guess Smucker gets you with the grape jelly.

Kraft has been pushing a no-sugar PB in Canada but I have never been tempted by their pricing to even have a look at the ingredients.

No PB but finishing the second and last round of supposedly black angus burgers tonight.

Have some skin-on side pork that I will try to make lard rti for lunch tomorrow (would have been for dinner but a friend is visiting). Bought a lot of marked-down side pork in the past week and 2 slabs/2 Kg are salting right in step 1 of being turned into pancetta.

.
Never heard of Adams, but you can get a Smucker brand natural peanut butter with no sugar just about anywhere. I usually buy that or Teddie, the other widely available no-sugar brand.

The only annoying thing about it is the need to stir. I always seem to make a mess.

Adams is/was WA-based so might be a regional label.. Probably the same product as the Smucker with a different label/container.

Im not buying non-organic peanut butter unless its mega small batch. I keep hoping to see an organic crunchy peanut butter at Costco.

this is where I do study ingredients. Some majors have only 100% peanuts with salt as ingredients.

I love stirring! Its fun. Adams is a staple at major supermarkets.
anyway I do enjoy peanut butter toast for supper.

Hunting season where you are and a shot gun handy, or did you net some unwitting fowl in your local pond?

Never had the opportunity to taste a wild waterfowl.
