ive bought 4 different brands of peanut butter, all crunchy. none of this smooth rubbish.

im going to taste a spoonful of each one on its own, then give my findings. later i may try them all on bread, then on bread with fake butter spread type thing. 

the contenders are sun pat, skippy, whole earth and sainsburys own brand.

Excited

hmm. not much difference in any of em to be honest.

the sainburys one is probably my least favourite, though it does taste a bit different to the rest which could be a nice change. the sun pat is marginally ahead, but a long way behind the other two. really hard to split the skippy and the whole earth. i think the whole earth one tastes marginally better, but the skippy is marginally crunchier which i like. really struggling on these initial tests as to which id buy regularly.

for the spoonful on its own test, i'll go with:

whole earth 8/10
skippy 8/10
sun pat 6/10
sainsburys 5/10

now im going to compare price and nutritional content... Excited

Whole earth is expensive but is the only one that should be considered from a nutritional perspective

Unhealthy. Americans eat loads of it and look at how fat they feckers are.

approx cost per 100 grams:

sainsburys 38p
sun pat 42p (on offer)
whole earth 70p
skippy 66p

salt per 100 grams:

sainsburys 0.56g
sun pat 1g
whole earth 1.1g
skippy 0.975g

saturated fat per 100 grams:

sainsburys 9.3g
sun pat 8.7g
whole earth 7.9g
skippy 7.6g

interesting that not only do the whole earth and skippy taste better, theyre lower in saturated fat too. not surprisingly the two most expensive ones are the ones that aste better.

strangely the sainsburys one is lower in salt than the rest, probably why it tastes different to the others

overall sun pat comes out pretty poorly, seeing as it was on offer but still more expensive than the sainsburys own brand and not faring much better in the taste test. if it was full price it would seem really poor value.

skippy contains 90% peanuts
sainsburys 95%
sun pat 95%
whole earth 97%

whole earth is the only one not to contain added sugar

the 90% in the skippy is a little worrying, as the difference must be made up with sugar.

carbs of which sugar:
skippy 9.6g
sainsburys 3.9g
whole earth 3.8g
sun pat 4.8g

yep as we see there. skippy has a LOT more sugar in there than the rest. Sad

I agree about Aldi's Coachbuster, and it's the cheapest.

More salt = better taste. It's peanuts

Why didn't you put the money you have wasted towards a decent nutricious meal instead of p*ss*ing about over nothing.

yes, that's very true too egg -  although the Aldi one tastes more 'roasted'

I'm off to try the Aldi's one then. Can always stir in a bit more salt, it's cheap enough
