Peanut butter is a spread or paste made from ground roasted peanuts or groundnut. When peanuts are ground, they produce oil which helps to create a paste consistency.

Peanuts are a rich source of protein, dietary fiber and they also contain monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, folate, niacin, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A, sodium, calcium and magnesium e.t.c.

Peanuts also known as groundnut or monkey nut (in the United Kingdom) belong to a family of Fabaceae and species of Arachis Hypogaea. Peanut butter helps in losing weight, lowering cholesterol levels, preventing type II diabetes, preventing cancer, regulating blood sugar level, reducing the risk of gallstones e.t.c.

Peanut butter is a great addition to a daily diet and it should be eaten moderately, a serving size of two (2 ) tablespoons is recommended. It is served as a spread on bread, sandwiches, toast, apple e.t.c. You can make this recipe with just two ingredients in 10 to 15 minutes.
