Whats the difference between Organic peanut butter and regular peanut butter(like Skippys etc.)?!
I know that organic means like it's raised without synthetic fertilizers and stuff but in peanut butters!?!? Do they taste different from the regular kind!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
They both taste like peanuts, yes, but there are obvious differences in some organic brands!.
Some are shelf-stable (in plastic/glass jars right next to Skippy at the store) but as soon as you open them the oil will separate!. The jars will usually then need to be kept in the fridge, which I always felt makes the peanut butter hard and flavorless!.
also a lot of organic butters are made either with less or no salt!.!.!. which can be better for you but tend to make a boring spread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi guSto, No I don't find a difference in taste!. Yes, there is a price difference, the organic is more expensive, and no you don't get a certificate every time you buy organic that says they don't use pesticides and that sort of stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
organic PB is made from organic peanuts and unlike Skippy?, Peter Pan? and other such brands does not have high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils or any GMO grains (from the sweeteners and the Hydrogenated oils) Most organic peanut butter has peanuts and salt as the only ingredientsWww@FoodAQ@Com
Regular tastes better!. Although nuts are good for you, peanut butter isn't exactly healthy, regardless if it's organic or not, so if you're going to eat it you might as well enjoy it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Organic PB is more expensive, goes bad faster, and has to be kept in the fridge and stirred before every use!. Jif can sit in the cupboard and be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
organic has not had herbicides or pesticides or anything like that and costs a lot more than regular pb!.!.!. (don't say it doesn't I work at a grocery store, lol)
As for taste!.!. no difference!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
