Product Information

Made from only two ingredients, a sprinkle of sea salt complements the specially sourced, hi-oleic peanuts, selected for their naturally sweet flavour. Tasting is believing. Saturated fat is the fat you want to avoid, it heightens bad cholesterol and regular consumption can lead to heart disease. It is especially important that you eat your recommended daily allowance of protein if you live an active lifestyle and like to do lots of exercise.

High-oleic peanuts are peanuts with a higher healthy fat content, compared to non-high-oleic peanuts. They also have a lower saturated fat content.Although the fat content of high-oleic peanut butter is higher, the high levels of mono-unsaturated fat mitigate the higher fat content and has little effect upon weight gain. This was found in a study of participants who consumed high-oleic peanuts for 12 weeks. Despite the 60g peanut butter increase in calories, it contributed towards minimal weight gain. When you buy a regular jar of peanut butter, there are a few ingredients to look out for which might make your choice of peanut butter less healthy than you might think.

Meridian Peanut Butter also has a deep roast crunchy peanut butter flavour where the peanuts have been roasted for longer for a richer, more intense flavour. High-oleic peanuts are peanuts that contain 30% more mono-unsaturated fat (the good fat) than normal peanuts. This means they can help to lower cholesterol and can be put in the same arena as avocados and olive oil, for maintaining good heart health. So, with such a wide range of nut butter to choose from, how do you go about deciding which to eat and when? Here, Frida Harju – in-house nutritionist at Lifesum– helps us break down the health pros and cons of each. More than anything the pandemic emphasised the importance of community and we decided we wanted to use Pip & Nut to directly help our community in East London. Here’s a list of the healthiest peanut butter brands we could find on the market in the UK. We looked for brands that met our criteria of having high peanut content, no added sugar or vegetable oil, and being low in salt.

This indulgent spread is creamy, smooth and easy to spread. It is a good source of fibre and protein, like the other spreads. Cashew nuts also contain a high carb content, which is why if you are on a low carb diet you should monitor how much of it you consume.

Almond butter is my personal favourite, a few mornings each week I top up my oatmeal with one tablespoon! Much like peanut butter, almond butter contains plenty of protein, but it also contains more fibre, which not only satisfies hunger, but also improves digestions. In terms of nutrients, almond butter is healthier than peanut butter and is also a good alternative for anyone who is allergic to peanuts, but would like to still have a nutty butter as part of their diet."Although peanuts are best for you when they are consumed in their natural state, there are still benefits to eating peanut butter when trying to manage your weight. PPB Powdered Peanut Butter Original is a powdered form of traditional peanut butter, which is 70% lower in fat than lots of other spreadable peanut butters. It is high in both protein and fibre and is gluten free plus it is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Meridian Coconut and Peanut Butter has the perfect combination of ingredients. It is made with ground coconut and peanuts and a dash of honey for added sweetness. The simplest peanut butter recipe involves food processing roasted peanuts (which you can do yourself to ensure no extra salt is added) until they form a smooth spread.

Peanuts have actually been found to have a higher oleic acid content than olive oil. A study also found consuming mono-unsaturated foods such as peanuts and olive oil, diminished the likelihood of cardiovascular disease by 21%. Creamy peanut butter is perfect for spreading onto toast or adding to baking recipes, as it has a moreish, nutty flavour.

Is peanut butter good for you?

All nuts have slightly different properties and benefits; almonds, for example, are full of magnesium and vitamin B2, which help keep your hair and nails strong and shiny. As well as all the health benefits, nut butters taste delicious and add a real depth of flavour to cooking."
