Frequently Asked Questions About 95% Peanut Butter

What does 95% mean on 95% peanut butter?

It means that peanuts make up 95% of the product by weight. The remaining portion may be salt, oil, or another ingredient, so the ingredient list tells you exactly what is in that particular jar.

Why does oil separate in 95% peanut butter?

Oil separation is natural: the peanuts’ own oil rises to the surface, especially when the spread contains few stabilizers. It does not by itself mean the 95% peanut butter has spoiled.

Should 95% peanut butter be refrigerated after opening?

Usually, no. Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; refrigeration makes the spread firmer and harder to stir. Follow the storage directions on the jar if they differ.

How long does 95% peanut butter last after opening?

When kept sealed and stored properly, 95% peanut butter can generally be used up to the date printed on its packaging. Discard it if it develops an unpleasant rancid smell or taste.

Can you use 95% peanut butter in smoothies?

Yes. Add a spoonful of 95% peanut butter to a smoothie for a creamy texture and a nutty flavor. Blend it with the other ingredients; if the spread is very thick, a little extra liquid helps it mix.

Can dogs eat 95% peanut butter?

Only if the ingredient list confirms it contains no xylitol, which is dangerous to dogs. Even xylitol-free 95% peanut butter is rich and should be offered only in a small amount as an occasional treat.

Can you bake with 95% peanut butter?

Yes, 95% peanut butter works in cookies, bars, and other baked recipes. Because it may be less sweet and more oily than conventional peanut butter, the texture and sweetness of a recipe may change.

Can you freeze 95% peanut butter?

Yes, you can freeze 95% peanut butter in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container. Leave a little room for expansion, then thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well if the oil has separated.

Is 95% peanut butter healthier than regular peanut butter?

It can contain fewer added ingredients than some conventional spreads, but the exact difference depends on the products being compared. Check the ingredient lists: 95% peanut butter still has a remaining portion that may include additions.

Does 95% peanut butter go well with jelly?

Yes, 95% peanut butter pairs well with jelly in a sandwich. Its strong peanut flavor works especially well with fruit spreads, and you can spread it thinly first to help keep the bread from getting soggy.
