Product Information

Vitamin E is quite abundant naturally in peanuts, with 100g of them providing 55.5% of your RDA. 5 This antioxidant can help to fight against the damage caused by free radicals. Molecular Nutrition & Food Research: “Phytate in foods and significance for humans: food sources, intake, processing, bioavailability, protective role and analysis.” And… Almond Butter is Better For Your Health –According to this analysis taken from Prevention, almond butter has 69% more calcium, twice as much fiber, 86% more iron, and 169% more vitamin E than peanut butter. The FDA sets the rules on what can and can't be included in peanut butter. They allow for blanched (skin off) peanuts or unblanched (skin on) peanuts. But if they are unblanched, the label must say that clearly. While the nutrition facts label for PB2 does not contain information on vitamin E content, analysis of a similar product, peanut flour, can provide a comparison.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center: “Peanut consumption associated with decreased total mortality and mortality from cardiovascular diseases.” PB2 also contains added salt, though less than the amount found in most types of traditional salted peanut butter — 94 mg versus 147 mg per serving ( 21).Peanut butter also contains omega-6 fatty acid. This fatty acid lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol and increases good (HDL) cholesterol. In addition, peanuts are a natural source of arginine, an amino acid that may prevent heart and vascular disease by promoting good blood vessel function. Unfortunately, up to 80% of teens and adults fail to meet the recommended daily intake of vitamin E ( 18, 19). It also contains resveratrol, an antioxidant that has anticancer effects and may lower the risk of obesity, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

As most of the fat has been removed to make powdered peanut butter, there is a concern that the fat-soluble vitamins usually found in peanuts are lost too. Besides the taste, almond butter has a few other different features. This butter has around 3 grams more of monounsaturated fats per serving than peanut butter. This could be an added benefit for heart health. Almond butter also is usually lower in sugar and has a bit more calcium. What Is Peanut Butter Powder?Peanuts May Contain Aflatoxin – The mold that is frequently present in peanuts creates a carcinogen called Aflatoxin. This chemical has been shown to cause liver cancer according to this study in developing countries where there is a large consumption of corn, peanuts and grains grown without strict regulation of the quality of soil. Here in the United States, the FDA allows aflatoxin into our food system at varying levels. This is just not something I want to consume on a regular basis, even in small “approved” doses. For people who have had cancer or already have compromised liver function, you should really consider this information. This is why I choose to eat Jungle Peanuts if I have a choice, because they are grown in an environment and harvested in a way that does not produce this toxin. Peanut butter powders are slightly more prone to these sneaky additives as manufacturers endeavour to replace the tastes lost from eliminating the fat in production. According to some sources , you should be eating 15-25g of protein every day. This recipe for peanut butter overnight oats works out at around 15g of protein per serving. But there are a few healthy ways you can easily increase the protein content so it’s double that. More on that subject in just a little bit.

To keep your peanut butter last long, make sure you store it in a cool and dry place. Don't keep it under a ton of light or around anything that creates heat. Peanut butter has been around for a very long time. The Ancient Incas and Aztecs would grind roasted peanuts into paste. But peanut butter today is a bit different. Modern types require a different production process.

How does powdered peanut butter work?

Peanut butter powder is full of healthy plant protein. Each serving contains around 6g of complete protein, largely due to peanuts having more protein than any other nut. 3 And as it’s lower in calories than peanuts or normal peanut butter, you can add it into protein shakes without adding as much fat and calories. Peanut butter powdered products are a less calorie- and fat-laden way to flavour food and enjoy plant-based protein.
