NCP Blog: Nuts About Peanut Butter

November is a busy month filled with special holidays and the beginning of the holiday shopping season. And, to top it off, it’s National Peanut Butter Lovers Month, too! Who knew? Let’s spread the word!

 

Peanut butter is a protein-packed, versatile food and a staple in most homes (it definitely is in mine!). It pairs well with many different foods, but there’s nothing like a classic PB&J sandwich, right? Besides creamy and crunchy, there are many other varieties of peanut butter in stores today. Have you tried any of the flavored ones such as chocolate, honey, maple, and so on?

 

Fun Facts About Peanut Butter

I came across some fun facts from the National Peanut Butter Board that I thought were interesting, so here are just a few:

• It takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.
• By law, any product labeled “peanut butter” in the United States must be at least 90 percent peanuts.
• The average peanut farm is 200 acres.
• The average person will eat almost 3,000 PB&Js in their lifetime, according to a 2016 survey by Peter Pan Simply Ground Peanut Butter.
• Astronaut Alan Shepard brought a peanut with him to the moon.
• People living on the East Coast prefer creamy peanut butter, while those on the West Coast prefer the crunchy style.
