Jif Creamy Peanut Butter

[ghost9]

Is This Brand Vegan? It Has Mono- And Diglycerides In The Ingredients.

I don't know if it's vegan but it's definitely hydrogenated. Stick with the all-natural kinds. Not all of them have an inch of oil on the top these days.

It's vegan.

Yar, I noticed that when I first went vegan and checked. Vegetable source on those. However, Jif *is* owned by P&G - your call.

I vote for natural peanut butter too. If you don't like the extra oil you can just pour it off and have a thicker spread.

How about Peter Pan???

Almost all peanut butters are vegan. Only the natural ones that contain just peanuts and salt are free from the nasty trans fats!

I prefer natural peanut butter myself. No trans fat, no added sugar, no added salt. Just yummy gooey peanut goodness.

never tried natural peanut butter...what's everyone's favorite brand?

I'm a big fan of natural PB. Meijer has a generic brand that I buy. It's almost twice as expensive as the regular generic stuff, but not too bad. Peanuts are peanuts. But I wouldn't recommend pouring all of the oil off- you'll end up with a big chunk of hard, unspreadable ground peanuts! Stir it in and refrigerate it to keep if from separating.

As for trans fats in regular PB, I've read multiple times that the trace amount in PB is so miniscule that it is not even worth worrying about. Although now that I am used to natural, regular has so much more sugar that it tastes like a Reese's cup to me.
