This creamy peanut butter is ready to use straight from the jar. It is commonly spread onto bread or crackers for a quick snack or meal. It can also be incorporated into baked goods like cookies and brownies, adding richness and a distinct peanut flavor. For savory dishes, it serves as a base for sauces and marinades, particularly in Asian-inspired cuisines. It can be thinned with liquids like water, soy sauce, or coconut milk to achieve the desired consistency for drizzling or coating.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike crunchy peanut butter, this variety has a completely smooth texture. The absence of peanut pieces makes it easier to spread evenly and blend into batters and sauces without adding texture. It offers a more uniform mouthfeel compared to its chunkier counterpart.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the jar in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not typically required, but it can help maintain freshness for longer periods. Stir the peanut butter if oil separation occurs, as this is a natural process.
