I love peanut butter and have eaten it all my life. Most companies in the UK, even the organic ones, add sugar, salt and unhealthy palm oil to both change the taste and prevent oil building up at the top of the jar. The oily layer can put consumers off.When I visited Australia I found fresh peanut butter in the health food shops. It is made for you there and then; you watch them crush all those yummy peanuts. On my return to England I was frustrated to not be able to find the same here. Every brand of peanut butter seemed to have something or else added to it, however my quest has ended. In one health food shop I found Medidian Organic Peanut Butter with nothing added. Hooray! And you can buy it on the web. It tastes yummy and the only disadvantage is you might need to mix it with your knife before using it, because the oil separates if left for a long time. This isn't really a big deal in the grand scale of things for such a great natural experience. If anyone finds other brands of peanut butter with nothing added please email me and I will place it on this page, by the way be careful with the meridian peanut butter to choose the version with no salt added to get the 100% yummy natural peanut butter experience.
I always prefer my peanut butter with bit of milk to stop it sticking in the throat but I am sure water will do just fine. Hope this has helped a few of you, and good nutty hunting.
