Peanut Butter
Our peanut butter contains just what it should, peanuts, and nothing else. Peanuts are heart-healthy because they are a very good source of monosaturated fats, the type of fat that is emphasized in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. Peanuts rival some fruits as a source of antioxidants.
Health Benefits
- Reduces cardiovascular risk. One study found that a high monosaturated diet that emphasized peanuts reduced cardiovascular risk by an estimated 21% compared to the average American diet.
- Good source of antioxidant vitamin E
- May protect against age-related cognitive disorders. They are a good source of niacin and folate. Research published in the Journal of Neurology indicates that regular consumption of niacin and folate-rich foods such as peanuts may provide protection against Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related cognitive disorders.
