Four Healthy Brands of Peanut Butter

These four brands of peanut butter listed below, contain no trans fat, hydrogenated oils, or preservatives, and best of all, they taste delicious.

Peanut butter offers a quick healthy protein intake and it is America's favorite food of all time. While the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich remains the best comfort food for kids and adults alike, it also becomes popular in sauces, and baking.

About 5 to 8 percent of American children have a food allergy, but they outgrow most foods allergies. Some people, who are allergic to peanut butter, and shellfish usually are life-long.

Really good article, I for some reason am not crazy about peanut butter but do try to eat it occasionally. I do like it in sauces and cooking with it. I know how healthy it is, you added to my knowledge about the different kinds out there, thanks for that!

*I give it to my puppy, she loves it:))

Icy, here at my house, my wife and I are big peanut butter eaters. We could eat this stuff by the case. My wife especially.
She gets the biggest spoon she can find and eats it right out of the jar! There are two brands here I haven't heard of: Naturally More and Maranatha. I haven't seen either one in this area. Great article! I like to put peanut butter on a piece of cheese and fold the cheese over and eat it. This is my version of what I call home-made peanutbutter cheese crackers,except without the cracker. Try it. You'll like it!

I never knew Jiff wasn't healthy.

how can you put Skippy natural on this list? It has palm oil in it!!!

Does anyone remember the peanut butter called Glove Kid. Do they still make it?

I am surprised you put Skippy Natural on the list also! Apparently you're not reading the labels carefully. Doesn't it have added sugar and salt. It has to have some trans fat to keep it from separating. Crazy Richards (owned by Smuckers) is a much better choice! It is relatively inexpensive also. With no trans fats, it does have to be stirred. It has no added salt or sugar. The only ingredient is peanuts. Simply Jif is not a bad choice even though it does have some trans fat because it is low in added salt and sugar.
