Pic’s Really Good Crunchy Peanut Butter (35.3oz)

We discovered Pic's while on vacation in New Zealand. We loved the taste and the fact that it doesn't have garbage additives like most American options. The other great feature is that the product seems to be blended in a way that the oil doesn't separate. That's nice because we don't need to stir it up every time we use it. It is more costly to get in the USA, but definitely worth it.

Updated as of 1/8/2022:I originally found this brand in a Home Goods store, and liked it so much that wanted to buy more. Amazon was really the only place I found it for sale, at least in the U.S.Taste-wise, this is excellent peanut butter, although i would rank it 2nd under the Koeze Company brand (marketed as Sweet Ella's) which uses Valencia peanuts.What really makes this brand stand out though is that they use a Hi-Oleic breed of peanuts. This is important because peanut oil is technically a PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid), and we get way too many PUFA's in our diet already. Plus PUFA's are considered by food scientists to have an inflammatory effect on arteries, so I am trying to minimize them as much as possible.However when an oil is Hi-Oleic, that means that level of monounsaturated fat is much higher in proportion to the level of polyunsaturated fat. So that makes this peanut butter unique in the market, and uniquely healthier than other brands.That is the only reason that I would pay so much for this peanut butter, because it is expensive stuff. I also wish it came in a glass jar. But since it is a unique product, I will use it happily as long as I can afford it.There is another brand called Fix & Fogg that also uses Hi-Oleic peanuts, and it comes in a glass jar. But it is more expensive (although more widely available) and I do not care for it as much. It does not taste quite as good as Pic's and is runnier. So I keep coming back to Pic's.

This peanut butter is so delicious! We visited the factory and learned how they make it. What a great company. If you mix it well on arrival and use a clean knife to remove it from the jar, it can last up to two years. Of course, ours never lasts more than a few months. Thank you Pics

The texture was not smooth as I was anticipating. The taste was fine nothing terribly wrong with the taste. I think it is a great alternative to other brands as this is clean of dangerous additives.

The bottom line is, my partner is ill and that caused me to reconsider what we were eating so I could give him the best nutrition. I was reading about dietary oils and learned about Pic’s brand of peanut butter. That the way it is grown helps it retain more nutrients from the soil. Based on what I read a lot of peanut butters are made from peanuts that sit around for a long time and need to be steamed to remove mold. Also, it’s just good to know where your food comes from.

Friends who were in New Zealand told us about Pics' peanut butter. We tried theirs and decided to order a jar. Well, best ever. Yes, expensive and yes, worth the flavor and healthful Peanut nutty butter.

In the middle of most nights I wake up really hungry. My fix is a few crackers with crunchy peanut butter. Pic's is amazingly more flavorful (naturally) than most of the brands I've tried over the last few years AND it's really full of crunch through and through. It cost a lot for what used to be ground up peanuts or hog feed (here in the U.S.) but in the middle of the night when I'm trying to satisfy a craving with as few calories as possible, this one fills the bill. A little pricey, but worth every penny.Just received my third jar of Pic's crunchy. I think I'm addicted. This is the best p-butter I ever ate. It's a big jar but the p-butter holds its flavor to the last spoonful. Pic's begs for a substantial slice of bread or bagel. No wimply white bread will do it justice.

Not only is this the healthiest peanut butter you can eat, it is also delicious. High oleic peanuts have a higher percentage of oleic acid fat than olive oil, with virtually no linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is probably the highest source of omega 6 oils in the diet. I eat peanut butter every day. This is my new favorite.
