Tag: Peanut butter vs peanuts

According to research published by WebMD, most peanut butters retain the beneficial nutrients of peanuts, but commercial brands often include unhealthy additives. This raises the question: is eating peanut butter as good as eating peanuts in their natural form?

According to the USDA, a serving of peanuts is rich in healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber. However, determining which is healthier, roasted peanuts or peanut butter, ultimately hinges on the processing and added ingredients found in the finished product.
