MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 oz

Like most people who buy organic peanut butter, I do so because peanuts are heavy in pesticides and I want to provide my family with a better quality option. This peanut butter seemed great at first glance but be careful and read the label. Maranatha makes several types of organic nut butters -but the "no stir" type contains sugar and palm oil.

Granted, it's "organic palm oil", but the palm oil industry is guilty of horrific ecological atrocities, including the systematic genocide of endangered orangutans and decimation of rain forests. (If you google "orangutans and palm oil", it'll break your heart). And palm oil labeled "green" or "organic" is generally considered "greenwashing" it's still grown in palm farms which have replaced vital rain forest so I'm skeptical.

Plus palm oil is not so good for our health. I'm surprised that Maranatha would include it.

Maranatha DOES makes a good quality, tasty organic peanut butter that is a better option than their "no stir" type. It's delicious and has "no additives, sweeteners, chemicals, preservatives or trans fats" and less ethical concerns too. You can find it here on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Maranatha-Pnut-Crmy-Salt-16-Ounce/dp/B00060N592/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1354476981&sr=8-2&keywords=maranatha+organic+peanut+butter

I have tried them ALL even making my own, which would be the best if I could get fresh organic peanuts. In lieu of that, I've been eating this p.b. for over four years. It's great with anything p.b. goes with, even better all alone on a spoon.

Eat and enjoy!

In the weight control program that I follow, peanut butter is either a "fat" or a "protein". With that in mind, I have tried different peanut butters and have narrowed my preferences down to two brands, Maranatha being one. My reasons:

-Organic: made with certified organic peanuts and if that is important to you, then Maranatha is a great choice.

-Additives: NO hydrogenated oils, NO sugar added; no nothing except for a tiny trace of salt. But, this does not taste salty at all

-Great taste: This should have been first. Maranatha has a mild, mellow, peanutty taste. I really do like it.

-Great texture: truly smooth and creamy. Easy to spread even on soft bread

Hint: This is NOT homogenized; the oil is on the top of the peanut butter when you open the jar. You have to mix it in but, fear not! Stick a butter knife down into the middle of the jar and move it ever so slightly, creating an opening into which the oil can flow. Repeat this a few times and most of the oil will be gone from the top. Stir and then enjoy. You will NOT have to mix again.

Summary: A wonderful way to get those "fat" allowances from a healthful type of fat. This peanut butter has made my weight control easier because I substitute it for far less satisfying fats and it seems as though I am eating something sinfully sensational.

This product has a good taste, it is also fortunate that unlike other brands this seems to be the easiest to spread on toast after taking out of the fridge (though it still is not as easy as it should be and does require patience)
