JIF Extra Crunchy peanut butter in a 16 oz (454 g) jar, with plenty of peanut pieces, for toast, sandwiches, smoothies, baking and savoury sauces.
Red, blue and green panels and the big white JIF letters make this jar easy to find, with EXTRA CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER on a blue band beneath and a yellow badge reading 7g protein per serving. The jar holds 16 oz, one pound or 454 g, and carries a non-GMO note on the side. Extra crunchy means more and bigger peanut pieces than a regular chunky style, which gives toast and cookies a real bite. As general background, the brand began as Big Top in 1946 and was renamed Jif in 1955, and notes that chopped peanuts are added during making to produce chunky-style peanut butter. In a cafe or home kitchen it typically does several jobs. Commonly, it is spread on toast with sliced banana or honey, layered into sandwiches and wraps, swirled through porridge and yoghurt, and blended into banana or chocolate smoothies. Bakers use it for crisscross peanut butter cookies, blondies and no-bake energy bites, and cooks whisk it with soy, lime, garlic and warm water for a quick noodle or satay-style sauce. Stir the jar if oil gathers on top, and always use a clean, dry knife.
