What it is

Honey peanut butter is a spread made from roasted peanuts that have been ground into a paste, with honey added for sweetness and flavor. The process typically involves roasting the peanuts, then grinding them in industrial grinders until they reach a smooth or chunky consistency, depending on the desired texture. Honey is then mixed in, along with salt and sometimes other ingredients like sugar or oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add honey peanut butter as a primary ingredient and flavor component in a variety of foods, mainly for its sweet, nutty taste and creamy texture. It is commonly found in snack bars, sandwich spreads, baked goods, and as a component in sauces and dips, particularly those with sweet and savory profiles.

Health notes

Honey peanut butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It provides protein, healthy fats, and some vitamins and minerals. Honey itself is a natural sweetener and contains antioxidants. While generally safe, excessive consumption of added sugars, including those from honey, is linked to health concerns. JECFA has evaluated honey and its components.

Peanuts are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This product is not a source of gluten.
