Peanut butter is very calorie-dense and is often consumed by bodybuilders trying to gain weight. However, eating moderate amounts of it can be quite helpful if you’re looking to lose weight, as long as you’re eating it as a substitute for even higher-calorie foods. Made from only two ingredients, a sprinkle of sea salt complements the specially sourced, hi-oleic peanuts, selected for their naturally sweet flavour. Tasting is believing.

Consumers are now more aware that not all fats are bad and that we should be eating them as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Gone are the days of the low-fat diet, instead the concern is now focused on low-sugar (which natural nut butters are). Nut butters have now become more widely available and there is a whole range of different flavours on offer, and I think this has attracted a new, younger consumer. For example our Coconut & Almond Butter is one of our most popular products."Frida suggests advises avoiding peanut butter that contains palm oil, opting for coconut oil options instead.
