PEANUT BUTTER
Peanut butter is a food paste made from ground dry roasted peanuts. There are many different types of this product, but the two main are: crunchy and smooth.
The texture of the crunchy one is enriched with peanuts fragments.
The smooth one is uniformly groun.
Peanut butter is not only delicious but healthy. It contains many substances which affect our organisms positivelly. For example it is full of vitamins (especially niacin - B3, B6 and E), minerals (mainly Magnesium, Manganese and Potassium). It is also a very good source of saturated (primarily palmitic acid) and unsaturated fats (primarily oleic and linoleic acids).
It can be eaten in many different ways. The most 'traditional' and very popular way in the USA is to eat a peanut butter sandwich. Most often it is a layer of peanut butter and a layer of jelly or jam between two slices of bread.
Very often it is treated as an ingredient in sweets. In bigger shops you can find peanut butter bars, chocolates, cookies, ice-cream....and even more.
