Peanut butter is a type of butter, but there is no 'butter' inside it. So you may think, what are the benefits of eating peanut butter? Well, there are many benefits to eating peanut butter, but there are also bad things of peanut butter. One good thing about peanut butter is that it only contains peanuts and salt. I think it is good that there is no need for any other ingredients. Pretty surprising, right? Also, peanut butter is a good source of Vitamin E and resveratrol. Although peanut butter contains a lot of fat, most of the fat is healthy fat, so there is nothing bad about it. And have you ever seen the oil in the peanut butter rise to the top? To cure this, mix it very well and put it in the refrigerator. Now the bad things about eating peanut butter. Sadly, most of the peanut butter at the market aren’t really peanut butter. They’re a mixture of peanuts, sugar and various oils. To keep the peanut spread thick at room temperature, manufacturers add artery-clogging saturated or trans fats. When shopping, look for “partially hydrogenated oil,” “hydrogenated oil” or “palm oil” -- those are ones you want to skip.
