Organic Peanut Butter

All peanut butters are not made equal. Most peanut butter that you buy at the store is non organic peanut butter. There is considerable confusion in terminology in the market as to what to call what. For those who buy bulk peanut butter however, the interest in what exactly organic peanut butter is takes on an interest that is not merely academic.

To clarify, organic peanut butter is where the peanuts are not grown using chemicals, fertilizers, or any other industrially manufactured product. The idea is to create food in as natural an environment as possible. Organic peanut butter is therefore healthier and is produced from farms that dispense no harmful chemicals into the environment.

This is different from natural peanut butter which has a completely different meaning and is explained in another article in this blog..

Of course, organic peanut butter is more expensive than the regular item, but this could be due to lack of economies of scale and prices are expected to drop sharply in the future. In addition, this extra cost can be substantially reudced by purchasing peanut butter in bulk. By doing this, you get the best of both worlds - healthy food at a reasonable cost.
