Nut butters, jams, and spreads both sweet and savoury are quick, tasty, and made for morning toast. It’s unsurprising they rank among Brits’ most popular breakfasts. But working out which ones are worth it isn’t always so easy. There are some that claim to be healthy, boasting high vitamin content or healthy fats, and there are others that make no attempts to sugarcoat (sorry) their lack of nutritional value.
