Natural peanut butter, made from ground peanuts and containing minimal to no added ingredients like salt, sugar, or oils, like Plenty Peanut Butter, offers a range of health benefits, focused around the simplicity and wholesomeness of a whole food, making it a nutritious choice for many diets. Some of the key benefits of enjoying a natural, rather than hydrolised peanut butter with additives:

• Rich in Nutrients: Natural peanut butter is a good source of several essential nutrients, including protein, healthy fats (mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), vitamins (such as vitamin E and B vitamins), and minerals (such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc). These nutrients contribute to overall health and can help maintain and repair body tissues.
• Heart Health: The high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in natural peanut butter can help lower bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and raise good cholesterol levels (HDL), reducing the risk of heart disease. The presence of antioxidants like p-coumaric acid also supports heart health.
• Weight Management: Despite its calorie density, peanut butter can be a component of a weight management diet. The combination of protein and healthy fats can promote satiety, helping to reduce overall calorie intake by keeping you feeling full longer. A delicious satay sauce made from soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, peanut butter and water tastes fabulous dolloped onto steamed, low starch veges like broccolini. Nutritious, low in overall calories and very satisfying!
• Blood Sugar Control: Natural peanut butter has a low glycemic index (GI), meaning it does not cause significant spikes in blood sugar levels. This makes it a good option for people with diabetes or those trying to manage their blood sugar levels. The fiber in peanut butter also helps in the slow release of sugars.
• Antioxidant Properties: Natural peanut butter contains various antioxidants, including vitamin E, which can help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body. This can contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases.
• Muscle Building and Recovery: The protein content in peanut butter is beneficial for muscle building and repair, making it a popular choice among athletes and those involved in regular physical activity.
• Convenience and Versatility: Natural peanut butter can be easily incorporated into various diets and is versatile enough to be included in many recipes, from smoothies and sandwiches to sauces and desserts, adding both nutritional value and flavor.

To fully reap these benefits, it’s important to choose natural peanut butter that contains no added sugars, colours, hydrogenated oils, or excessive salt. Additionally, due to its high calorie and fat content, moderation is key when incorporating peanut butter into your diet. Don’t go crazy, and it will add a wonderful dimension to your diet!
