What are the benefits of peanut butter? Let’s find out.

What is Peanut Butter?
Peanut butter is a relatively unprocessed food. It’s basically just peanuts, often roasted, that are ground until they turn into a paste. However, many of the commercial brands of peanut butter do contain various added ingredients. Making real peanut butter a part of your diet can have very many benefits:

Good Protein Source
Peanut butter is a fairly balanced energy source that supplies all of the three macronutrients — Carbohydrates, Proteins & Fat.

Low in Carbs
Pure peanut butter contains only 20% carbs, making it suitable for a low-carb diet. It also causes a very low rise in blood sugar and is a perfect option for people with type 2 diabetes.

High in Healthy Fats
Since peanut butter is very high in fat, a 100-gram portion contains a hefty dose of 588 calories.

Fairly Rich in Vitamins and Minerals
Peanut butter is fairly nutritious as it provides Vitamins E, B3, B6, Folate, Magnesium, Copper and other minerals., besides also containing a substantial amount of calories.

Rich in Antioxidants
Peanut butter also contains plenty of other biologically active nutrients.
