These peanut butter brands are the WORST!
While flavor is undoubtedly important, it’s also crucial to consider the brand’s nutritional qualities when rating the worst peanut butter brands on the market.
Even though peanut butter is a straightforward, nutritious meal produced from chopped peanuts, it contains many extraneous ingredients, including sugar, salt, and hydrogenated oils, which are added to improve flavor, texture, and shelf life.
Making wise dietary decisions is crucial given the concerning rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in the United States. Limiting processed and sugary food intake is a good place to start when treating these conditions, and peanut butter is a simple solution.
Next time you go shopping, carefully examine the ingredients and select the one with the fewest ingredients.

Ok, so what are the good peanut butters????????????
In the Philippines, where I grabbed an early retirement, you will likely never find many products labeled “organic” except some fresh produce in one corner of the produce department. We have some of the popular US brands of peanut butter on the shelf and sadly, locals often think “imported is better.” We found locally produced peanut butter in various sizes that has great flavour and yes, a shorter shelf life because it has no extra additives in the mix. This is NOT a product you purchase and twenty (20)years later, it is still there waiting for you in the back of the cupboard! You will not escape some salt and sugar, Filipinos love sweet things and sugar is a big industry here. Still, it is a great pleasure to open a new container, stir in the peanut oil and have at it. A few locals have turned peanut butter making into a cottage industry, we purchase what we can whenever we find it.
