What it is

The natural formulation means it contains fewer added ingredients compared to some other peanut butter options. It is a pantry staple for many households. The jar contains a good amount of peanut butter for various uses.
How people cook with it
This peanut butter spread is versatile in the kitchen. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
- Sandwich filling
- Baking ingredient
- Sauce component
- Snack dip
Open the jar and stir the peanut butter to combine the oil that may have separated. This is a common characteristic of natural peanut butters. Use a clean utensil to scoop out the desired amount. Spread it evenly on bread for sandwiches, or incorporate it into baked goods like cookies and brownies. It can also be whisked into sauces for dishes like satay or noodles, adding a rich, nutty flavor. For a quick snack, serve it with apple slices or celery sticks.
How it differs from similar foods
Natural peanut butter spreads often have a simpler ingredient list, primarily consisting of peanuts and perhaps salt. They may have a more pronounced peanut flavor and a slightly looser consistency due to the natural oil separation. Conventional peanut butters often contain added stabilizers to prevent this separation.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families looking for a simple and flavorful peanut butter option will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the jar in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Refrigeration is not typically required for natural peanut butter spreads, but it can help prolong shelf life and reduce oil separation.
