Frequently Asked Questions

Is Peanut Butter a good protein source?
Yes. Peanut Butter provides 23.1g of protein per 100g โ€” that's 46% of the daily value. As a plant protein, combine with complementary sources (grains, nuts) for complete amino acid profile.
How does Peanut Butter support gut health?
Peanut Butter contains 5.9g of fiber per 100g (21% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity. The high fiber content also slows glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes.
Does Peanut Butter contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (reduce zinc, iron, calcium absorption 20-60%). Lectins (can irritate gut lining โ€” destroyed by proper cooking). Soaking 12-24h reduces phytates 30-50%. Cooking destroys lectins and protease inhibitors. Fermentation (tempeh, miso) reduces all anti-nutrients. Sprouting increases nutrient bioavailability. Benefits (fiber, protein, minerals) far outweigh anti-nutrient concerns for most people.
How filling is Peanut Butter?
Peanut Butter has a satiety score of 9.7/10. The 23.1g protein stimulates PYY (satiety hormone). The 5.9g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
