Yet another nut butter containing those hi-oleic peanuts, only this time we’ve found them in one of Pip and Nut’s 12 delicious, exclusively palm oil free , concoctions. We’ve plumped for the humbly named the ultimate extra crunchy peanut butter, which does exactly what it says on the jar. Tibbetts, Joan Crosby (1998). "Prologue". Skippy, Inc. Archived from the original on September 11, 2010. To ensure that their butter is creamy, Zippy has added some hydrogenated palm oil. It has also enhanced the taste of the peanut butter and added some sugar to it. Therefore, it might not be the healthiest option in the market. Tip the SKIPPY® peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce and coconut milk into a small mixing bowl and stir well with a spoon until it’s all smooth and creamy. a b Isidore, Chris (January 3, 2013).

Skippy is sold in many different sizes, including a 4-pound (1.8kg) jar, known as the "Family Jar". In late 2000, Skippy reduced their standard jar size from 18 ounces (510g) to 16.3 ounces (460g) by adding a "dimple" in the bottom of the jar while retaining the jar's height and diameter.

You also do not have to put it in a refrigerator once opened. You can put it in a cold dark place (except during very hot summers), but you will need to stir it a little bit before using it.

The peanuts used in peanut butter can also vary; organic, health-focused brands now tend to use “hi-oleic” peanuts which are sweeter and higher in monounsaturated fats than standard peanuts, but this comes at a premium price point. Recently, brands have been experimenting with different roasts, whereby a longer roast leads to a stronger and darker colour and flavour of peanut butter, while others use raw or blanched peanuts for a lighter, creamier result. In 1955, Rosefield sold the brand to Best Foods. [7] Its successor companies, most recently Unilever and Hormel, claim rights to the trademark over the objection of Crosby's heirs, and much litigation has occurred on this point over the decades, some of which has continued into the 2000s. [8] [9] [10] [11]It has a sugar content of about 10.9 g and 51.6g calories per 100g serving. It is sold in a 340g plastic container that is easy to open and close. Despite marketing itself as a smooth peanut, you will still fund chunky pieces as you spread.

The product does not have added oils or sugars, which makes it a vegetarian-friendly product. However, it is blended with a yeast extract to give it a unique flavour that is somewhat bold. Marmite Crunchy Peanut Butter contains 45g of calories and just 5g of sugar content in 100g serving. The product is also rich in Vitamin B and proteins.Then there’s the palm oil issue: many brands use palm oil to stabilise for creamy, spreadable peanut butter without the oil separation. But environmentalists say that the growing and harvesting of palm oil destroys indigenous settlements and contributes to deforestation. Others claim that the alternatives (like soy and corn) are even worse for the planet due to the amount of land and water required. Sustainably grown palm oil might be an answer, but demand for it means it’s still problematic. Wash and chop the spring onions and coriander. Kids might find this easier to do with scissors. Again, pop them in a bowl on one side for later.

Skippy has been marketing itself as a family brand and is popular with most kids. It is one of the cheapest peanut butter brands in the market, making it a choice for most people on a stringent budget.
