ProudGrandma Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 is there any real reason that organic peanut butter is better than non-organic? In other words, do you know are peanuts highly sprayed and eating Jif is not nearly as healthy as an organic brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plath Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yes, conventional peanuts have a high pesticide content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acurtis75 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We like Maranatha brand. Strangely enough what dd likes the best is the freshly made stuff we can get at our local grocery. They make it with regular or organic peanuts and the only ingredient is organic roasted unsealed peanuts. I also like it better for cooking because it isn't so sticky.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well, there's also a difference between natural peanut butter that's not necessarily organic, and Jif, which contains hydrogenated oils and sugar. Jif is more like junk food than actual peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 My bang-for-the-buck peanut butter is Trader Joe's Valencia. :iagree: I buy ONLY organic corn and peanuts because I thought they were mainly GMO crops. It's been so many years that I can't remember where I read that. Oh, same with soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
