I love Peanut Butter

 

Peanut Butter is a very popular product in the United States, I remember as a child I only saw it in cartoons, I always wanted to try it but back then Peanut Butter was not yet sold in Chile, I got to try it when I entered the University, I remember spreading it on a bread and when I tasted it I had to drink a lot of water because it was too dry and I couldn't get it down my throat, then I understood why the famous Peanut Butter Sandwich has to have Jam, because the Jam gives it moisture, but back then I didn't like Jam, so for a while I ate it spread on a spoon with a glass of milk but that changed when I tasted flavors of Jam that I liked and I started eating Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwiches.

Today I eat Peanut Butter in many ways, I even sometimes cook recipes with Peanut Butter such as Peanut Butter Cupcake, even though not all my family likes Peanut Butter. 

I not only like it for its taste but also for its health benefits, it is true that you have to be moderate with its consumption since it has a lot of calories so 2 tablespoons a day is enough. Despite having calories Peanut Butter has no cholesterol and does not add cholesterol to the body, it has fat but it is good fat, the fat in Peanut Butter regulates cholesterol in the blood.

I recommend buying Organic or Artisanal Peanut Butter, not that the Peanut Butter sold in the supermarket are bad, but always be sure to read the labels and especially read the ingredients because there are Peanut Butters made with artificial ingredients that do not contribute to our body. Peanut Butter can also be made at home, just buy unsalted and unshelled Peanuts and grind them in a blender until it has a creamy consistency and keep it inside a glass jar.
