  1. Im a german citizen in germany and I have zero opinions on this peanutbutter in particular. Thanks

  2. It’s a store brand peanut butter. The supermarket chain is called Edeka 🙂

    I find it alright.

  3. I’m sorry, but in thinking you bought a  “German food product”, you bought something that is considered an “American food product” over here. Peanut butter is not widely eaten by many Germans.

    But you can ask us anything about different nougat cremes like Nutella!

  4. It’s okay but it’s not a high-quality peanut butter and uses quite a few unnecessary ingredients (e.g. palm oil and sugar). So it’s really not good for you and tastes okay-ish. You can get Erdnussmus which is just peanuts (sometimes with a bit of salt) which is way way healthier and does really well in cooking/baking. I like the one by dm or koro

  5. It’s not crunchy so it’s inherently worse unfortunately, I’m sorry you had to suffer through inferior peanut butter.

  9. it‘s an american style product (you can see the blue stripes and stars), and I like it best spread on bread with butter below and marmalade on top

  11. I’m an American in Germany. It tastes like (some brands of) American peanut butter. It happens to taste like the brands I like.

    You don’t have to eat it with jam/jelly/marmalade, but American peanut butter is best eaten on sliced sandwich bread. It can also go on a flatbread made out of white flour (preferably), though that’s less common.

  12. I live near the border with the Netherlands and prefer to get the Dutch peanut butter (Pindakaas).

  13. I prefer the crunchy versions, but I love peanut butter in general!

  14. It’s great for making peanut sauce. That’s the only thing I ever use it for, so I don’t know anything beyond that.

  16. Side quest(ion): While Germany is not big on peanut butter, the Netherlands are, with their pindakaas. What do Dutch people think about the American stuff, and the Americans about the Dutch products?

  20. Please please try Calvé from the Netherlands or Skippy peanut butter from the US!!

    There is quite some difference in price but with peanut butter opting for the more expensive brands to me is more than worth it. I’m biased tho cause I love PB and eat it daily.

    In terms of opinions, peanut butter is generally marketed as an American thing in Germany (hence all the flags on various products). In the Netherlands e.g. peanut butter, or Pindakaas in Dutch, is very much part of the national culture and their peanut butter is very runny and quite oily compared to German or American peanut butter and has little crumbs in them.

    I wouldn’t say peanut butter is a thing in Germany tho.

    Insider tip:
    Try peanut butter with preferably white bread, a small touch of salted butter, and strawberry vanilla jam from Schwartau!!! It’s HEAVENLY. If you wanna go all out on the sweetness also but marshmallow fluff spread on it which you can usually get in the same aisle at the grocery store. 🙂

    Watch out tho it might be dangerous for some because it’s an absolute calorie (and sugar) bomb and tastes delicious imo hahaha

  21. It’s ok, but i prefer dutch peanut spreads (forgot the name but it’s a 15/10)

  23. well, it’s peas are nuts *badum tss*

    Seriously, though, It’s ok. they all taste the same to me.

  32. It’s like if AI imagined peanut butter. Disgusting. I always surge on Jif from the rare place selling US goods

  33. Personally, I think it’s awful. Bleh.

    Peanut butter should be just roasted, ground peanuts and maybe salt. Anything else is garbage.

    I bring back peanut butter from the US when I go there because I can’t find anything decent here (except very occasionally at Asian markets, but it’s so expensive).

  37. Yes its ok. It passes to serve as something close to US peanut butter. But not the same taste bit strange but you get used to it. Same would probably be said other direction.

    I do miss the Sams club size Chunky Skippy… Dual pack something close to 100 oz. Bam that’s a heart stopping amount!

    Ive only seen these baby jars. Only Nutella comes in large sizes…

  38. A person in Mongolia asking about German faux American peanut butter on Reddit. What a wonderful world.

  39. I have this exact jar in my kitchen right now, but I always bring peanut butter back from the states when I am there. Also brought a bunch from the Netherlands when we visited this past spring. We eat peanut butter and jelly almost daily, so we have to resort to the German stuff at times.
