100% Crunchy Peanut Butter Calories

The oil is naturally present in the peanuts and separates because this spread contains no added stabilisers. Stir it thoroughly back in before serving; storing the closed jar in a cool place can help limit separation.

Use it in peanut-butter toast, oatmeal, sauces, or baking. Its crunchy texture adds pieces of peanut to smoothies and dressings too, though you may prefer a smoother spread if you want a uniform sauce.

No, it does not cause weight loss by itself. Its protein and fibre may make a snack more filling, but the spread is energy-dense, so generous servings can add substantial energy to a meal.

Usually, refrigeration is not necessary; keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Chilling can make the peanut oils firm and the spread harder to stir, so follow the storage directions on the jar if they differ.

Yes, this version is made solely from peanuts, with no added sugar or salt. That is why the flavour is less sweet and less salty than many conventional peanut butters.

The main difference is texture: crunchy peanut butter contains noticeable peanut pieces, while smooth peanut butter is finely ground throughout. If both are made entirely from peanuts, their ingredients are otherwise much alike.

A small amount is generally suitable for many dogs because this spread contains only peanuts and no xylitol. It is still high in fat, so keep it occasional and avoid giving it to a dog with a prescribed restricted diet.

Many people with diabetes can include it in meals; it has no added sugar, and its fat and protein can slow digestion when eaten with carbohydrate foods. If you use medication or follow a specific meal plan, ask your dietitian how to portion it.

Stir the natural oil through the spread, then keep the lid tightly closed between uses. Separation is normal in a peanut-only product, so it may return during storage; refrigeration can slow it but makes the spread firmer.
