About Groundnut paste

Groundnut Paste, commonly known as peanut butter, is a nutrient-dense spread made primarily from roasted groundnuts (peanuts). Native to African and American cuisines, it is cherished worldwide for its rich, creamy texture and versatile flavor. Groundnut Paste typically contains peanuts, salt, and sometimes added oils or sweeteners, though natural varieties omit these additives. It is an excellent source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like magnesium, Vitamin E, and niacin, making it a staple for energy and satiety. Its unsaturated fats promote heart health, while its fiber aids digestion. However, some commercial varieties may include high amounts of added sugar and hydrogenated oils, which detract from its health benefits. Moderation is key, as its calorie density can lead to weight gain if overconsumed. A natural, minimally processed version is ideal for enjoying its nutritional benefits while minimizing any drawbacks.
