Creamy unsalted peanut butter

Unsalted creamy peanut butter is a paste made from roasted and ground peanuts until a smooth and homogeneous texture is achieved, without the addition of salt. This ingredient is highly valued in cooking for its natural and creamy flavor, ideal for preparing both sweet and savory recipes.

Originating in North America, peanut butter has become popular worldwide due to its versatility and high nutritional value. Traditionally, it is produced by grinding peanuts to release their natural oils and achieve a spreadable consistency.

Among its properties, it stands out for its high content of protein, healthy fats (such as monounsaturated fatty acids), vitamins (especially vitamin E and B vitamins), and minerals like magnesium and potassium. Furthermore, by choosing the unsalted version, you get a healthier product, ideal for those looking to control their sodium intake.

In the Hispanic American culinary context, creamy peanut butter is also known as crema de maní, pasta de maní, or pasta de cacahuate, terms that may vary depending on the country and region.

It is a perfect ingredient for spreading on bread, preparing sauces, dressings, desserts, and smoothies, adding a characteristic flavor and a smooth texture that enhances any recipe.
