Crunchy peanut butter is literally just half made peanut butter. They haven't ground the peanuts all the way. I want my food to be fully prepared.

Do you like your steak well done?

More like ground into a paste, extruded into a cylinder shape, and served as an ultra-processed puck of meat, bones, fat, and preservatives.

Hey I like some crunch. But overall i don't eat peanut butter that much as it's full of sugar.

[-] nodsocket@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Natural peanut butter is just crushed peanuts, it doesn't have any sugar. The crap most people know is really only like 3/4 peanut, the rest is oil and sugar additives.

True facts. Also, whole peanuts are even healthier than peanut butter, aside from the fact that I like crunch, that little bit less processed is why I like crunchy.

And the oil may not even be peanut oil

In deeper parts of the food world we call this processing and it has a nasty habit of ending in cancer

then walmart's (the old 18oz jar) was hardly prepared at all. it was all nuts. it was glorious.

they recently cheapened the recipe and shrunk the jar down to 16oz, and now it's like every other crappy store brand.

Agreed. A product purporting to be "butter" should be not have chunks. It should be creamy and smooth. Crunchy is a job half done. Finally, someone who gets it.

Edit: If you like crunchy peanut spread, that's cool. But let's be real. It's not peanut butter.

It's been called that longer than you've been alive, good luck changing its name now....

[-] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

If you want to keep perpetrating that a product with butter in its name should be chunky, go for it. I won't stop you, but I won't join you. I will continue to enjoy both peanut butter and chunky peanut spread.
