Peanut butter is obviously made from peanuts, but what other ingredients are added to it so that it will become the type of spread that you like? The peanuts that are used are not just ordinary peanuts. They have to be dry-roasted peanuts. The additional ingredients that will be used for the peanut butter are meant to improve its overall flavor.

There are some peanut butter types that are made with sugar while there are also some that are made with salt. Some people prefer sweet peanut butter types while there also some that would like to have salty peanut butter types. Take note that some peanut butter types are more natural than others. Some would just contain peanut butter, a type of oil, and flavoring. Others would contain chemicals that can taste the overall texture of peanut butter.

From its name, you can already guess what peanut butter is made from. This is made from dry-roasted peanuts. It can also be mixed with a lot of other ingredients. Oil is also added to the peanuts in order to make it smoother.

Just make sure that you will look into the type of oil that is added to the peanut butter as there are some types of oil that are considered to be healthier than others.

Honey may also be added to the peanut butter in order to make it sweeter, but other companies will add sugar or molasses as sweeteners. Once again, if you want to be sure about the ingredients of the peanut butter before purchasing, always check the label.
