Creamy Peanut Butter

Creamy Peanut Butter is a spread made by grinding roasted peanuts into a paste and is commonly used in sandwiches, baking, smoothies and many cuisines as a savory-sweet ingredient. It is calorie-dense and a notable source of plant protein, providing about 22.2g of protein per 100g, along with dietary fiber and B vitamins like niacin. Nutritionally it delivers mainly fat—largely monounsaturated fats—plus some fiber and minerals such as copper, so it can contribute to satiety and heart-healthy fats when eaten in moderation. Many commercially available varieties are processed and can contain added salt, sugar or oils, so choosing natural or minimally processed options helps retain the favorable protein quality and healthy fat profile; however, peanut butter is not a major source of antioxidant pigments like carotenoids or polyphenols compared with fruits and vegetables.
