Crunchy peanut butter is very similar to its smooth counterpart but with chunks of crushed peanuts included in the spread to give it its crunchy texture. It goes without saying that the majority of 2020 involved adapting to the new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From crunchy to smooth and powdered to flavoured, there is something to suit every taste and every tummy! If you are a gym bunny, with exercise as a key part of your daily routine, you can buy Pip & Nut’s 1kg Peanut Butter which should keep you going for a while! It’s interesting that different peanut butters with a 100% peanut content list have quite different figures for their calorie content. During the blending process, you could add a little salt or even honey to help get the spreadable consistency of a smooth butter. You could blend it for less time to leave you with a crunchier texture. When you buy a regular jar of peanut butter, there are a few ingredients to look out for which might make your choice of peanut butter less healthy than you might think.It is especially important that you eat your recommended daily allowance of protein if you live an active lifestyle and like to do lots of exercise. High-oleic peanuts are only found in certain places, and Pip and Nut source their peanuts from Argentina. Pic’s Peanut Butter also contains high-oleic peanuts, which they source from Australia, and produce in New Zealand. Its saturated fat content is a little higher than Pip and Nut: 6.3g per 100g, compared to 5.8g. This is still much lower than normal peanuts, which have an average of 8.2g saturated fat per 100g. There is also a chocolate peanut butter powder available which is great for adding to smoothies, nutritional bars and for use in baking. Perfect if you have a sweet tooth!
Almond butter is my personal favourite, a few mornings each week I top up my oatmeal with one tablespoon! Much like peanut butter, almond butter contains plenty of protein, but it also contains more fibre, which not only satisfies hunger, but also improves digestions. In terms of nutrients, almond butter is healthier than peanut butter and is also a good alternative for anyone who is allergic to peanuts, but would like to still have a nutty butter as part of their diet."In fact, high-oleic peanuts have 80% oleic acid content, compared to normal peanuts; with 50% oleic acid content. This means that high-oleic peanuts heighten good cholesterol within your body, maintaining heart health. Not all nuts are equal. We select the finest Argentinian peanuts for peanut butter making. They are known as hi-oleic runner peanuts and are naturally sweet; we call them the Queen of Peanuts. If you want to get a smooth texture you could experiment with adding vegetable or olive oil, instead of palm oil. Peanut butter is a delicious spread which is made from dry roasted peanuts, which are then ground into a spread. Peanut butter is a popular health food as it is an excellent source of protein which supports muscle maintenance and repair.
All peanuts have saturated fat, and saturated fat is part of a healthy diet but at low levels. Pip and Nut’s peanut butter has 5.8g of saturated fat per 100g, compared to Bulk Powders, which has 8.2 g saturated fat per 100g. Bulk Powders peanut butter is not made of high-oleic peanuts. To get a better idea about why nut butters have become so popular we spoke to Pippa Murray, founder of nut butter company Pip & Nut. So, what exactly can nut butters bring to our diets? Well, they are incredibly versatile and are a great way of getting fats (the good kind!) and protein into our diets. Pip explains: Cashew butter contains amino acids and healthy fats, which keep your heart healthy, as well as magnesium which speeds up your metabolism and improves your immunity. It is also rich in protein, but also high in calories so, just like with other butters, it is important you don't overindulge." PPB Powdered Peanut Butter Original is a powdered form of traditional peanut butter, which is 70% lower in fat than lots of other spreadable peanut butters. It is high in both protein and fibre and is gluten free plus it is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Funky Nut is a small brand that makes Hi-Oleic peanut butter which comes in both crunchy and smooth varieties.Creamy peanut butter is perfect for spreading onto toast or adding to baking recipes, as it has a moreish, nutty flavour. Perhaps the most popular variety of peanut butter, smooth peanut butter is perfect for spreading onto toast or eating with jam in sandwiches. Many peanut butters add in vegetable fats and extra salt, which can take away from the healthy elements of the nuts, but more recently, more health-conscious brands have been competing to create the healthiest peanut butter on the market.
