GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind peanut butter, smooth, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 22.2 g protein and 5.0 g fibre per 100 g.
  • Provides 9.1 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E per 100 g.
  • Provides magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.
  • Its smooth consistency is practical for spreading, sauces and blending, and avoids the hard pieces found in crunchy peanut butter.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 598 kcal and 51.4 g fat per 100 g, so large spoonfuls can add substantial energy quickly.
  • Contains 426 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.065 g salt per 100 g; unsalted peanut butter is a lower-sodium alternative.
  • Contains 10.5 g total sugars per 100 g, but USDA does not report a separate added-sugars value for this legacy record.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause life-threatening reactions; cross-contact must be taken seriously.
  • Smooth texture does not remove choking risk: CDC advises against chunks or spoonfuls of nut butter for infants and young children; package formulations also vary.
