- Added to smoothies
- Used in baking
This crunchy peanut butter spread can be enjoyed straight from the jar. It is excellent when spread generously on toast, crackers, or fruit slices. For a quick snack, use it as a dip for apple wedges or celery sticks. It also blends well into smoothies, adding creaminess and flavor. Many bakers incorporate it into cookies, brownies, and other desserts for a distinct peanut taste and texture. Stirring the spread before use helps to reintegrate any separated natural oils.
How it differs from similar foods
The defining characteristic of this peanut butter is its crunchy texture, achieved by including small pieces of peanuts. This contrasts with smooth peanut butter, which is processed to a uniform consistency. The organic certification indicates a specific farming practice was followed in its production.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the peanut butter in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Refrigeration is not typically required, but it can help extend shelf life and maintain texture, especially in warmer climates. Stirring may be necessary before each use.
