POOOOLL!!

I love any brand to be honest and smooth PLEASE.

poll. lol.

MaraNatha organic crunchy peanut butter with a hint of sea salt! MMMM. I love me some peanut butter.

@regberadaisy: You know how to make my day.

@IRunForFun: woah, that sounds amazing!

@regberadaisy: Oh no, you threw out good peanut butter!! The reason natural peanut butter is oily is that it doesn't have partially hydrogenated oil, an emulsifying agent, to bind it all together. It has natural oils, which separate over time. You just have to stir it up really well and store it in the fridge! It's supposed to be like that, promise!

I love earth balance peanut butter coconut spread. OMg so good.

@regberadaisy: ya it is! you have to stir it and keep it in the fridge, then its fantastic! i also read on HB that if you keep it turned upside down, you don't have to stir it. i am going to try that with my next jar.

@mediagirl: That reaction made me giggle

@regberadaisy: Yes, natural peanut butters separate. You just stir it back together and use it.

We don't do peanut butter because our friend is allergic. I LOVE sunbutter which is made from sunflower seeds.

@regberadaisy that's why I switched to the Walmart or Jif natural. You don't have to stir them as much as the Smuckers PB but they don't have the hydrogenated oils either. & I'm lazy!

I have a serious addiction to PB....any nut butters actually. Love all kinds from the mainstream e.g. skippy natural extra chunk / super crunchy with honey to the more fancy, like MaraNatha no stir crunchy.

TJ's also have a great chunky / crunchy all natural PB. ahh, i could seriously eat a whole jar in one sitting and not even feel sick.

and yes, most natural PBs with no stabilizers tend to separate and the oil will sit on top. you can either stir it back in, or do what i do - pour out the oil for less fat. it's still creamy enough because the natural ones tend to be really liquidy.

DH will only eat Peter Pan peanut butter, so that's what we buy. I prefer chunky!

@IRunForFun: Ok wait, are you suppose to refrigerate it? I bought a HUGE container of organic peanut butter a couple weeks ago (like costco surplus size!) I stirred and put it back in the pantry, am I poisoning everyone now? I read everything on the label and it didn't say refrigerate..

@StbHisMrs: I don't think you're poisoning everyone unless it's gone rancid or grown mold. The reason it is recommended that you refrigerate it is that it's "natural" and doesn't have many preservatives, so the natural oil CAN go rancid over time. I believe they say that if you won't finish it within a month, you should refrigerate it. We always finish ours within like 2 weeks, but refrigerate it anyway. If you aren't refrigerating it, you should store it in an otherwise cool, dry place.

Peanut Butter Co. - I like their smooth and chunky. @Hilsy85: They have non-stir versions? That would be great - the ones I got from Fresh Direct last week need stirring! I hate it, it's so messy, but worth it for peanut butter that's literally just mushed up peanuts.

@IRunForFun: Ah thank you I'm running home at lunch and sticking it in the fridge! It's like 80oz or something crazy like that, so I most definitely won't finish that within a month!

skippy all natural super crunchy is my favorite

I ONLY like honey roasted PB!
