Looking for peanut butter made with high oleic peanuts? It's harder to find than you'd think. Here's why, how to spot one, and a few brands that use them.
Why high oleic peanut butter is hard to find
Food labels aren't required to say what variety of peanut is inside. Most jars just list "peanuts," even when those peanuts are high oleic. So unless a brand chooses to call it out, you usually can't tell from the label.
Brands that pay attention to it tend to say so proudly, because high oleic peanuts are a premium variety with more than 80% oleic acid (vs. about 50% in regular peanuts) and they stay fresh much longer. New to the topic? Start with our guide to high oleic peanut butter benefits.
How to tell if a peanut butter is high oleic
- Check the ingredient list. Look for "high oleic peanuts," "hi-oleic peanuts" or "hi oleic peanuts."
- Check the brand's website. Some brands mention it in the product description rather than on the label.
- Ask. Small brands are usually happy to tell you what peanuts they use.
