Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Packaged in a jar or perhaps a tub
Enjoyed from Wellington to Timbuktu
Although some may think I come from a nut
Nutritionists would know that I do not
Use me to form a delicious lunch slice
Tastier yet with my fruity topper
What am I?

Hint
The answer is found in a certain spotwhich enables this riddle to rhyme not.
Answer
peanut butterRegarding the hint, if you have another look at the riddle, you'll see that the first letters of each line together spell the word "peanut", and the last letters of each line together spell the word "butter" (not including the "What am I?" line). Since I decided that the riddle's lines would end with "butter", I wasn't able to make it rhyme.
lines 1-2: Peanut butter is available in jars or tubs, and is "enjoyed" throughout the world.
lines 3-4: Although "nut" is in "peanut", a peanut is a legume, not a nut. Therefore, peanut butter does not "come from a nut".
lines 5-6: The phrase "lunch slice" refers to a sandwich, and the phrase "fruity topper" refers to jam or jelly.
The title alludes to applying or spreading a generous amount of peanut butter on a sandwich.
