I've made my own peanut butter in a Cuisinart food processor. I think any basic food processor would be fine.
Does it taste the same
Nah all the preservatives and stuff really enhance the flavour
@easternculture Not the same. Tasted too healthy lol
$3.75 is the full retail price we are being ripped by the supermarkets & there marketing saying it's half price BS.
Yeah. Doubt anyone ever buys this at full price
This one is more of a fancier brand.. tastes a bit better than other brands imo but definitely not a budget buy
I'm going to be adventurous and get smooth pnb this time
Sounds like you like living life on the edge.
The content used to be Australian peanut but not now as i am aware of
From memory it used to be made in NZ from Australian peanuts, but now also use Brazil and Argentina sourced peanuts.
I think you'll find there's no peanut butter brand anymore that uses anything close to 100% Australian ingredients now, whether it's Pic's, Mayver's, Bega, etc. They've all slowly and steadily reduced the percentage of Australian ingredients since about 2020.
Yeah the bega simply nuts varieties are all 100% australian.
Also the Mayvers smooth and crunchy that have bug 100% australian on tbe front logo are also… 100% australian. (Yellow and peach coloured labels)After chats with researchers in the aussie peanut industry, I just go without when I don't have stocks of these.
There's definitely a seasonal variance to the proportion of Australian peanuts used though. You'll find different batches have differing percentages of Australian peanuts when there's local shortages and I've seen the percentages on jars from all of these brands drop down to almost no Australian ingredients at times.
@Gnostikos: As stated, the bega simply nuts has never dropped down. The bega plastic tubs have, plus the mayvers ones that dont state australian.
Ridiculously Delicious is also 100% Australian. That’s what I like to buy now, although it’s also Ridiculously Expensive. Tastes to me like how Pic’s used to taste
Thanks OP, I'll take a Pic
Make sure its decent
It's this better/tastier than Mayver's?
Bega simply nuts is ahead of Mayvers.
I used to be a Mayver's fanboi but, Bega Simply Nuts is probably my favourite now. The bottle is also reusable, unlike the narrow necked ones from Pic's and Mayver's. However Bega is more expensive.
But the label comes right off a Mayver's bottle with very little effort. It even says to "peel and reuse me".
That and dark roast is the reason I keep buying it.
@ippy: Didn't realise Mayver's labels peel off that easy, kudos to them for thinking of this. My fav reusable bottle is Bonne Maman and Aldi Grandessa Signature. They're identical. The label comes off in the dishwasher.
My favourite currently is Fix & Fogg super crunchy.
Yes.
Pic's has a richer, more intense roasted nut flavour. It's like Whittaker's chocolates and their intense cocoa flavour compared to Cadbury's sugary, oily, war-rationing ersatz chocolate. Mayver's is a bit more watered-down, diluted, weak and their consistency tends to be a lot less thicker compared to Pic's as well.
No, not in my opinion. Pics is bone dry and difficult to spread and tastes no better than the home brands.
I still tend to prefer Mayvers or Bega Simply Nuts when on sale.
I used to love Pics, didn't have it for a few years and then bought a jar again recently; I thought it tasted horrible. Mayvers dark roast ftw.
I thought I'd check Amazon and searched pics… all I can say is, don't forget to add peanut butter in the search
I found my last few Pic's to be pretty stiff (lack of oil?) but I'll give it another go since I'm running out of mayvers
Fuiyyoooo! Add some MSG…Okay,!!!
Haiyaaa!!!
Hi Oleic peanuts are peanuts that contain a higher amount of oleic acid compared to standard peanuts.
Mayers at Amazon $4.60 for 375g

Not sure if it's the same as the Mayver's when you open it and all the oil is at the top, but if you flip it upside down in the cupboard for a few days the oil goes back through the peanut butter the other way and makes it a million times easier to mix it all in.
Fix & Fogg super crunchy (hi-oleic peanuts) from NZ is also good but haven't seen it at half price.
Have tried most of the brands including Mayvers, Simply Nuts and 99th Monkey.
might still be cheaper to get the large container version of this if you like it.
Must have just been a bad batch, but last year I bought a jar of Pic's that was extremely salty. Had to get a jar of unsalted natural PB to fix it. Didn’t put me off the brand tho as I still buy regularly…
The PB just keeps going up in price from $3 a jar to $7.50 in about 4 years or less
Not that peanuts are marginally expensive.
Thinking of buying a Ninja foodie with the spread bowl and making my own
ROI should be quick
