Peanut Butter: Beyond the Sandwich
Peanut butter has long been a staple in American kitchens, primarily known as the classic partner to jelly. Yet, this beloved spread offers much more than sandwich potential?"it’s a nutrient-packed powerhouse deserving of a broader culinary role.
Nutritional Benefits
A mere two tablespoons of peanut butter delivers impressive nutrition: eight grams of protein, two grams of fiber, 10% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin E, and 12% of magnesium. According to the USDA's MyPyramid, incorporating peanut butter as a protein source is a beneficial meat or poultry alternative. What’s more, it’s free of cholesterol and trans fats.
Variety and Versatility
Grocery shelves teem with peanut butter options to suit various tastes and dietary preferences. From creamy and crunchy to honey-infused, brands like Smucker's Natural and Jif offer alternatives, including low-salt and reduced-fat varieties.
Creative Uses
Think beyond the sandwich. Spread peanut butter on apple slices for a wholesome snack, mix it into yogurt, or stir it into hot oatmeal for a nutrient boost. Its rich profile also makes it the perfect base for sauces, like in our featured recipe below, transforming simple noodles or chicken into an exotic dish.
