What it is
Peanut butter is a spread made primarily from roasted peanuts that have been ground into a paste. The grinding process releases the natural oils in the peanuts, creating a smooth or chunky texture depending on how long the peanuts are processed. Salt and sometimes sweeteners or oils are added during manufacturing.
Why it's used
Peanut butter is used as a spread, a filling, and an ingredient in many food products. Manufacturers add it for its distinct flavor, creamy texture, and protein content. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, candies, and breakfast items.
Health notes
Peanut butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein, healthy fats, and various vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanut butter and its components. While generally considered 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 added ingredients like wheat are present.
