Whole Earth packs plenty of crunch with new hazelnut spread

Whole Earth, the UK’s number one peanut butter brand, has introduced a new Hazelnut Crunch peanut butter that combines the wholesome taste of peanut butter with the natural sweetness of hazelnuts.

Available from Waitrose, Whole Earth Hazelnut Crunch (RRP £3.99/340g), is made with a flavoursome blend of roasted peanuts and pieces of roasted hazelnuts – great for those who like a crunchier spread.

Not just for toast, Whole Earth Hazelnut Crunch can be eaten and enjoyed with a variety of different foods from adding to smoothies, topped on to fruit or dolloping on porridge. With its sweet, mellow character, it tastes great with pear and generously spread on to breakfast bagels.

Offering a healthier alternative to other hazelnut spreads, Whole Earth Hazelnut Crunch contains absolutely no added sugar. It is also naturally high in protein and fibre making it ideal for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
