What it is

Freshly ground peanut butter is made by grinding roasted peanuts into a smooth paste. It typically contains only peanuts, and sometimes a small amount of salt. The grinding process releases the natural oils in the peanuts, creating its characteristic creamy texture.

Why it's used

Peanut butter is primarily used as a flavor ingredient, adding a rich, nutty taste to foods. It is commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and confectionery. Its creamy texture also contributes to the mouthfeel of many products.

Health notes

Peanut butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use. It is a source of protein, healthy fats, and some vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated peanut butter and did not specify an acceptable daily intake. While generally healthy in moderation, it is calorie-dense.

Allergen info

Peanut butter is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless cross-contamination occurs.
