I received these products for my review. All opinions are my own.

There are up to two ingredients in our peanut butter. Peanuts, and sea salt.

In 2007, when I was looking to buy peanuts by the sack, I came across Greg Bain’s web site for his company, premium nut brokers. We struck a deal and Greg sent us a couple of 25 kilo bags of blanched Australian peanuts.

At the time we thought a peanut was just a peanut and our clever roasting was what made the difference, but we soon discovered otherwise. As we learned more about peanuts, we found that our Australian nuts were a hioleic variety, which had some pretty special characteristics, beyond being, as the name suggests, a bit oilier than ordinary nuts.

The best of these, in my view, is that they don’t seem to oxidise – they never go rancid in the way that ordinary peanuts do. Some other peanut butters, including most of the organic peanut butter sold in New Zealand – will be rancid before you buy them. Initially their rancidity comes through as a vaguely metallic aftertaste, but it can sometimes give the peanut butter a really nasty musty smell that no amount of sugar can disguise.

Hi oleic nuts other feature is their enhanced nutritional value. You probably already know that peanuts are a bit of a super food, full of life enhancing polyunsaturated oils antioxidants and a thing called resveratrol.

Are you a peanut butter family? We definitely are! It’s an amazing food that is so versatile and packs a lot of nutrition in for both kids and grownups. We were super excited to try Pic’s Really Good Peanut Butter– and let me tell you, we were not disappointed! I LOVE that it has two ingredients- peanuts and sea salt. I feel good about giving it to my boys. And it tastes great! Some of the best peanut butter we’ve had in the house. They obviously know what they’re doing when it comes to roasting peanuts. It ships really reasonably, and I love the idea of peanut butter just showing up at our doorstep that I didn’t have to go out and shop for- win/win. Be sure to check them out, they have other butters, and even peanut butter packs for on-the-go!

Things that are Brag Worthy:

Two ingredients in the peanut butter- Peanuts, and sea salt (also available in No Salt)
Australian hioleic nuts which feature an enhanced nutritional value
Fresh roasted
Peanut butter and peanut oil available- cashew butter and almond butter will be available in the US soon!
