Description
Natural-style creamy peanut butter is a paste made from ground peanuts that maintains a smooth and homogeneous texture, ideal for spreading and mixing in various culinary preparations. Unlike processed versions with added sugars or preservatives, this natural variant stands out for preserving the authentic flavor and nutritional profile of peanuts.
Originating in North America, peanut butter is a traditional ingredient in American cuisine, although its popularity has spread worldwide as a practical source of plant-based protein and healthy fats.
Among its main nutritional properties are a high content of protein, unsaturated fats beneficial for cardiovascular health, dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus.
In different regions of Latin America, creamy peanut butter may also be known as crema de maní, crema de cacahuate, or simply manteca de maní. Its use in recipes varies from desserts and salad dressings to savory dishes and energy snacks.
