Frequently Asked Questions About Mono peanut paste
What is Mono peanut paste made of?
Mono peanut paste is made from peanuts ground into a smooth paste, with no other ingredients. The peanuts’ natural oil may separate during storage, so stir the paste before using it.
Why is there oil on top of Mono peanut paste?
The oil on top is naturally released from the ground peanuts; it does not mean the paste has spoiled. Stir it back in thoroughly, reaching the bottom of the jar, for a more even texture.
Is Mono peanut paste the same as peanut butter?
They can be the same if the peanut butter contains only peanuts. Many peanut butters also include salt, sugar, or added oils, while Mono peanut paste is a single-ingredient peanut spread.
How can you use Mono peanut paste in cooking?
Mono peanut paste works well in noodle sauces, salad dressings, marinades, and dips. Whisk in a little warm water to loosen it, then add ingredients such as lime, soy sauce, or garlic to suit the dish.
Does Mono peanut paste need to be refrigerated after opening?
Not necessarily: it can generally be kept in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Follow the jar’s storage instructions; refrigeration can make the paste firmer and may make it less easy to spread.
Can you make Mono peanut paste at home?
Yes. Blend roasted peanuts in a food processor, stopping to scrape down the sides, until they turn from crumbs into a smooth paste. The peanuts release their own oil, so extra oil is not required.
Can Mono peanut paste replace peanut butter in recipes?
Yes, Mono peanut paste can usually replace peanut butter in recipes in the same amount. Since it has no added sugar or salt, taste the finished mixture and adjust its sweetness or seasoning if needed.
Can Mono peanut paste be frozen?
Yes, freeze it in an airtight, freezer-safe container, preferably divided into portions. Let a portion thaw before use and stir it well if the natural peanut oil has separated.
How can you tell if Mono peanut paste has gone bad?
A rancid, paint-like smell or bitter, stale taste can indicate that Mono peanut paste has spoiled. Oil separation alone is normal; discard the paste if it smells or tastes off, or if you see mold.
Can babies eat Mono peanut paste?
Yes, it can be offered when a baby is ready for complementary foods, but never give a thick spoonful on its own because it can pose a choking risk. Thinly spread it or mix it into another food, and ask your pediatrician about introducing peanuts if allergy risk is a concern.

What is Mono peanut paste?
Mono peanut paste is made by grinding peanuts into a smooth or slightly textured spread, with no other ingredients. Peanut pastes and butters are especially familiar in the United States, but they are also used in breakfasts and snacks around the world.
Its roasted, nutty flavour and thick, creamy texture work well on toast, stirred into porridge or yoghurt, or paired with sliced fruit. It is rich in fat and protein and provides fibre, so a small spoonful adds plenty of energy and satisfying richness. Try it with banana or apple, or thin it with a little water to make a pourable dressing for noodles or vegetables.
