Go On Nutrition Crunchy Peanut Butter is peanut butter with a two-line ingredient list: roasted peanuts and roasted peanut pieces. Nothing else. A 500 g jar, around 33 servings, with visible chunks running through a thick, unsweetened base.

In short: Go On Nutrition Peanut Butter in the crunchy grind is 100% peanuts — no palm oil, no added sugar, no added salt. A 500 g jar of Go On Nutrition Peanut Butter carries 27 g of protein and 7.6 g of fibre per 100 g.

Go On Nutrition Crunchy Peanut Butter is 100% peanuts

Roasted peanuts make up 84% of the jar and roasted peanut pieces the remaining 16% — which adds up to peanuts and only peanuts. There is no palm oil, no added sugar and no added salt, and the label carries a gluten-free declaration. Because nothing is emulsified in, the natural oil separates and rises to the top; stir it back through before the first spoonful and it stays workable afterwards.

How to use it

Stir the jar before first use, then spread it, spoon it or cook with it. It goes on toast, rice cakes and oatcakes, into porridge and overnight oats, through a protein shake, into satay and noodle sauces, or straight into energy balls with dates and oats. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight; refrigerating slows the oil separation but firms the texture considerably, so most people keep it in the cupboard.

How to read a peanut butter label

Three things separate a good jar from a bad one. Palm oil, added as a stabiliser so the product never separates — convenient, but it is there for the manufacturer, not for you. Added sugar, often several grams per serving in a product that has no business containing any. And added salt, which pushes an otherwise low-sodium food into the same bracket as crisps. This jar has none of the three, which is why the ingredient list is two words long and the salt figure is 0.04 g per 100 g.

Who is it for?

Anyone who reads the back of the jar first. It is a straightforward pantry staple for people tracking what they eat, and a useful protein and fibre source for vegans and vegetarians. The crunchy grind suits toast and baking; go smooth if you mostly blend it into shakes. It also pairs neatly with Go On Protein Granola in Peanut Butter & Chocolate if you want the same flavour at breakfast.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there oil on top? Because there is no stabiliser. That is what unemulsified peanut butter does. Stir it in.

Is it salted? No — the 0.04 g of salt per 100 g is what occurs naturally in the peanuts.

How many servings in a jar? Around 33, at 15 g each.
