I didn’t know how many options we have for peanut butter. Part of that is because I am not a big peanut butter eater I haven’t had a real need to look into the variety that is available. However, between Jeanna and Gradie I am not sure who eats more peanut butter?
Thankfully, we were approached to try out the New Zealand’s Pic’s Peanut Butter. I am pretty sure Jeanna would have rather mad at me had I not accepted, and she’d have told Gradie all about it too.
New Zealand’s #1 selling peanut butter brand, Pic’s Peanut Butter, announces its launch in the United States!!
I know what you’re thinking – WHY would we get peanut butter from New Zealand when there is so much freely available to us here in the USA. Prior to actually eating Pic’s Peanut Butter I likely would have said the same thing, but now I’m a convert, our whole family is, we LOVE this New Zealand peanut butter.
Our reason is – it’s delicious!! The technical reason is Hi-oleic nuts (which were actually developed in the US) however, they cannot be grown here.
It’s something to do with cross pollination with ordinary peanuts that makes them revert within a season. The trick is to declare your whole country Hi-oleic, which is what Australia (and Argentina) has done. So, that’s why you won’t find any American peanut butter quite like Pic’s.
No matter the reason – this peanut butter is a winner! All natural, no icky stuff included, is gluten and sugar-free and is made with no additives and just a touch of Kiwi salt (in the salted varieties.) Pic’s Peanut Butter is available in a variety of types and sizes, be sure to head over to their website to see them all.
Also, I am happy to let you know you can now purchase Pic’s Peanut Butter online and via Amazon and we encourage you to give it a try – I am certain you won’t be disappointed. Also, be sure to let your local grocer that you NEED to see Pic’s on their shelves.
