Peanuts Butter

Peanut butter is a food paste made primarily from ground dry-roasted peanuts. It is often mixed with salt, and sometimes sweeteners or oils to improve texture and taste. The process involves roasting the peanuts, then grinding them until they reach a smooth or chunky consistency.

Peanut butter is used as a spread on bread, crackers, and fruit, and as an ingredient in baked goods, sauces, and smoothies. Manufacturers add it for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and protein content. It is common in snack bars, candies, and desserts.

Peanut butter is considered a source of protein, healthy fats, and various vitamins and minerals. The FDA recognizes peanuts as a major food allergen. While generally safe for most people, individuals with peanut allergies must avoid it. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanuts and peanut products, establishing guidelines for safety.
