Saturday Supermarket Smarts: Peanut Butter
With new products hitting the grocery stands every day, it’s hard to keep up with the latest food trends. Have no fear; we’re here to help! Each week, we’ll be highlighting a new product that’s worthy of a spot in your shopping cart and your kitchen.
The Product
At only $0.22 per ounce, jarred peanut butter comes in a variety of flavors and textures. Comparably, fresh ground peanut butter costs $0.27 per ounce and takes time to prep before you can grab it off the shelf!
Why You Should Buy It
It's convenient, it's cheap and if you pay attention to labels (beware of sugar and hydrogenated oils), you'll find many natural options that are as pure as the fresh ground version.
How You Should Use It
Though we'd never turn down a classic PB&J, peanut butter makes a great addition to dips, sauces and desserts:
