Mantequilla de cacahuate, commonly known as peanut butter, is a creamy spread made from ground, roasted peanuts. Originating in the Americas, it’s a staple in various cuisines, particularly in the United States and Latin America. Peanut butter is rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins like E and B6, as well as minerals such as magnesium and potassium, making it a nourishing addition to a balanced diet. It provides sustained energy and supports heart health when consumed in moderation. However, its calorie density means portion control is key, particularly for those managing weight. Some varieties may contain added sugars, salts, or hydrogenated oils, which can reduce its nutritional value, so choosing natural or organic types is recommended. Versatile and satisfying, mantequilla de cacahuate is enjoyed in sweet and savory dishes alike or simply spread on bread for a wholesome snack.
