Peanut Fruit Paste Calories

Peanut fruit paste is usually eaten as a snack in small pieces. You can serve it with tea or coffee, or chop it into yogurt or porridge; its chewy texture and sweetness make a little go a long way.

Peanut fruit paste can be eaten by children who are not allergic to peanuts, but its chewy, sticky texture may be difficult for very young children to manage. Offer age-appropriate small pieces and supervise them while they eat.
