Why is this PB so expensive?

[1982-1994]

Cost more than typical Mayver's PB

FYI - Jif peanut butter is owned by J M Smucker, which also owns the Adams brand peanut butter.

Jif have added vegetable oil + salt (may have added sugar as well, can't see the whole ingredients list), whereas Adams is only peanuts + salt. Both made in USA.

Definitely better than Slippy, which is made in China.

First try was the peanut butter with chili flavour, not used to it

Recently taking Mayver's unhulled tahini due to the high calcium content

Very similar to Adams. I just take it as an upgraded version, just to console myself.

Can make your own.

Buy 1 packet of peanut.

Roasted in over fire.

Use a bottle to roll into small piece.

When you want to eat, apply butter n throw some over it.

No chemical added.

It is observed several international brands are bottling their PB in China for export to regional markets. Perhaps due to cost, margin and supply chain disruption avoidance.

Personally, I feel food is culture. PB is an angmo invention, which shaped me to be sensitive to the Country of Manufacture, not just the Country of Brand.
