Peanut Butter

Peanuts and peanut butter contain high quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar foods, peanuts have more protein than any other legume or nut. This is especially important for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.

Peanuts and peanut butter contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.

One ounce, or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 grams of fiber. This is 9% of the fiber you need each day!

One ounce of peanuts provide 16% of your daily need of vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to act as an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Peanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these "hard to find" minerals such as copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.

B vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects. They also reduce amounts of homocysteine in the blood that may be a risk for heart disease. Peanuts are a good source of folate.

Phytochemicals are natural substances in plants which may provide a wide range of health benefits such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanuts contain resveratrol which is one of the many phytochemicals found in plant foods.

For most chocolate peanut butter cookie recipes, it is acceptable to substitute the peanut butter with soy butter or another nut-based butter such as almond butter. An example of branded butter that would work well with the recipe is Nutella, which is also appropriate for those who would otherwise not be able to eat the cookies due to peanut allergies.

A peanut is a nut in the protein food group, along with other nuts, meat, fish, poultry, eggs and beans.

As far as I've ever been told through Internet research, etc, the toxic mold aflatoxin can grown in corn and peanuts. So while peanut butter may not seem obviously moldy to the eyes, it can contain this aflatoxin, the same way corn products do. That is probably the strongest reason why both are highly allergenic foods.

Peanut butter is said to have originated in South America.The ancient Incas used peanuts and were known to have made it into a paste-like substance.

Well its like trying to break an egg on cotton , will not break because it is hard against soft its like you trying to brake yourself on a bed, you cant once again, because its hard against soft.

It depends on how dense the peanut butter is. If you assume that peanut butter has a density of 1.3 grams per milliliter (this varies considerably depending on what type peanut butter and at what temperature you have), then there are about 41 tablespoons in 500 milliliters.

All peanut butter is labelled with an expiration date on the package. It is best to throw away any food by the time the expiration date is up, or shortly thereafter for foods with a long shelf life such as peanut butter. The product may be good for some time after opening if opened near the date of expiration. It is best to use your judgement, and if in doubt, throw it out.

I believe that peanut butter is better because of its wide range of uses (sandwiches, apples, chocolate-covered, etc.) and superior taste. Peanut allergies are quite common, decreasing its overall value of a widely used food. Some people however, love jelly because of its sweetness and value as it pertains to pb&j's.

Peanut butter, and many other peanut products, was originally created to encourage farmers to grow peanut plants as part of their crop rotation, since the peanut plant adds certain nutrients back into the soil.

Yes, anytime you eat nuts there is a chance you will gain weight. Nuts are very high in fat and just eating moderate portions will help you to gain. The best nuts are peanuts and almonds, as they are mostly monosaturated fat and this is the kind of fat which is good for our bodies. You just want to make sure you are eating natural peanut butter because regular peanut butter is full of trans and saturated fat(bad for the heart.) Read the label, it should just have peanuts and salt in the ingredients. Bananas are also a very sugar dense fruit, so adding them to peanut butter will increase the total calories eaten while getting some important nutrients at the same time.

Buttermilk is a solution, compounds are pure substances that cannot be separated by physical means, buttermilk can have its fat removed through physical means.

Answer: Peanut butter on an old style neck-breaker mouse trap is the best bait. Especially if you tie a bit of heavy string to the trigger first. The "wee cowerin' beastie" (as Burns calls them), can't pull the bait off and has to lick it away or tug on the knotted cord. Either activity engages the trigger and releases the spring. Answer: Peanut butter can be used to trap mice as well as rats. It can be placed in a mouse or rat trap. Not only have I tried it, but I saw it on the History Channel today (11/13/08 EST. ) Peanut butter sticks to a trap better than cheese. This forces the mice to work harder on securing the bate.
