Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between natural and regular peanut butter?
Natural has just peanuts (and maybe salt). Regular contains hydrogenated oils (for stability), sugar, and additives. Natural separates and needs stirring; regular stays smooth.
Why does natural peanut butter separate?
Without hydrogenated oils as stabilizers, the natural peanut oil rises to the top. This is normal and healthy. Stir thoroughly before refrigerating to prevent future separation.
Is peanut butter good for weight loss?
In moderation, yes! The protein and fiber promote satiety. However, it's calorie-dense (188 cal per 2 tbsp), so portion control is important. Measure rather than scoop freely.
