The Most Popular Product
Due to its ease of use, health benefits, and amazing taste, it is one of the most popular products. 65% of the peanuts grown worldwide are used to make peanut butter. In America alone, 350 million kilograms of peanut butter are consumed annually.
With the growth in popularity, its fans became interested in natural peanut butter. With so many different brands and types available, the question arises – what is the difference between them? Could some of them be unhealthy?
Natural Peanut Butter
- Natural peanut butter is characterized by the separation of fats from the main mass, which concentrates at the top of the jar. In this case, you simply need to stir the jar before serving.
- Natural peanut butter does not contain additives or sugar.
- Due to the lack of additives, natural peanut butter has a creamy and less liquid consistency.
Industrially Produced Peanut Butter
- Trans fats are often used in commercial peanut butter to stabilize its consistency.
- The industrial production process makes peanut butter more liquid.
- Most manufacturers use sugar, palm oil, and other additives to improve the taste.
The Choice
Which peanut butter should we choose? Regardless of the production process, it is best for the number of ingredients to be minimal. Industrially produced peanut butter may not differ at all from natural. It is best to make the final choice based on the ingredients listed on the label.
