⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
As a high-calorie, high-fat food, overconsumption can hinder weight management goals. It's also a top allergen, and the added sugars can affect blood sugar. To counteract, practice portion control (1-2 tbsp), pair it with fiber-rich foods like apple slices or celery to slow sugar absorption, and always check labels for added sugars and hydrogenated oils.

FAQ
What's the difference between smooth and crunchy peanut butter?
Smooth peanut butter is ground to a uniform, paste-like consistency. Crunchy (or chunky) contains small pieces of peanuts mixed in for added texture.
Is fortified peanut butter healthier than regular?
It provides added vitamins and minerals (like iron, B vitamins, zinc), which can be beneficial, but you should still check the ingredients for added sugars, salt, and hydrogenated oils, which are common in many brands.
Why does the oil separate in natural peanut butter?
In natural varieties without stabilizers, the peanut oil naturally rises to the top over time. Stirring it back in is normal. Fortified or conventional brands often use hydrogenated oils to prevent this separation.
