Have you ever heard about Powdered Peanut Butter?

NO! Because it is less common in India. Very few know but they have half the knowledge. Most people think that peanut butter powder is just crushed peanuts and there is no difference between oily peanut butter and powder peanut butter but it’s completely different in its process, nutritional values and taste etc. Let’s get knowledge about powdered peanut butter.

Process

Peanut Butter Powder: This is made by pressing the oil out of roasted peanuts and then grinding them into a fine powder. The removal of the oil significantly reduces the fat content.
Regular Oily Peanut Butter: Traditional peanut butter is made by grinding roasted peanuts into a spreadable consistency, often with added oils, such as palm oil or hydrogenated oils, to enhance texture and flavour.

Nutritional Content

Peanut Butter Powder: Since the oil is removed during the production process, peanut butter powder generally has a significantly lower fat content compared to regular peanut butter. It’s also often lower in calories(75 kcal per serving). However, the protein content remains RELATIVELY HIGH PROTEIN(more than 50%), making it a popular choice among those seeking a protein boost.
Regular Oily Peanut Butter: Regular peanut butter contains a higher amount of healthy fats due to the retained peanut oil(more than 50%). While it is calorie-dense(200 kcal per serve), it’s a good source of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. It also contains more calories compared to peanut butter powder.

Uses

Peanut Butter Powder: It’s commonly used as an ingredient in spreads, dips, smoothies, protein shakes, and baking recipes. Its fine texture makes it easy to incorporate into various dishes. It’s also a versatile option for adding peanut flavour to recipes without the additional fat. That means it has BOUNDLESS possibilities.
Regular Oily Peanut Butter: Traditional peanut butter is often used as a spread on bread, toast, or crackers. It’s also used as a dip and can be incorporated into both sweet and savoury dishes for flavour and texture.

Storage and Shelf Life

Peanut Butter Powder: Due to its lower fat content, peanut butter powder generally has a longer shelf life compared to regular peanut butter. It’s less prone to rancidity.
Regular Oily Peanut Butter: Traditional peanut butter has a shorter shelf life due to its higher fat content. Natural peanut butter without added preservatives may require refrigeration to prevent oil separation and maintain freshness.

Taste Experience

When it comes to taste buds, peanut butter powder generally offers a flavour reminiscent of traditional oily peanut butter. The nutty, rich taste is a quintessential part of the peanut experience that many of us love. Authentic peanut butter powder delivers a richer peanut flavour than its oily counterpart.
