Description

Low-fat crunchy peanut butter is a healthy version of traditional peanut butter, made from ground peanuts that retain small pieces to provide a crunchy texture. This ingredient is ideal for those seeking a nutritious alternative with lower fat content without sacrificing the characteristic flavor and consistency of peanuts.

Originating in the United States, peanut butter has become popular worldwide and is widely used in both sweet and savory recipes. The low-fat version offers a lighter option, made by extracting part of the natural oil from the peanuts, which reduces the caloric and fat content without losing the protein and fiber inherent to the nut.

Among its properties, it stands out for its high content of plant-based proteins, healthy fats—primarily unsaturated—and dietary fiber, in addition to being a source of B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and potassium. The crunchy version adds a different tactile experience that enriches dishes like breads, smoothies, desserts, and sauces.

In various Hispanic American countries, this product may also be found under the following names: manteca de maní crocante, crema de cacahuate con trozos, or simply mantequilla de maní crocante baja en grasas. Its use is very versatile in the kitchen, adding flavor, texture, and nutritional value to a wide variety of preparations.
