In the kitchen and how to use it
This is a creamy peanut butter formulated with added omega-3 fats, typically from flaxseed or fish oil blended into the roasted peanut base. It spreads the same as standard peanut butter: on toast, in sandwiches with jam or banana, stirred into oatmeal, swirled into smoothies, or used as the base for a peanut sauce with soy sauce, lime and a little chili for noodles or satay. Because it is a creamy style, it lacks the crunch of chunky varieties but blends smoothly into batters, dressings and dips. A tablespoon or two is the typical portion, since it is calorie-dense and rich in fat.
Store the jar in a cool pantry and stir well if any oil separates on top; refrigeration can extend freshness once opened. Per 100 grams it delivers 608 calories, 24.5 grams of protein, and 6.1 grams of fiber, meeting 22% of the daily fiber value and 49% of the protein value, alongside a notable 69% of the daily vitamin E value. Because a little goes a long way calorically, it is best used in small measured portions, such as a tablespoon spread on fruit or whole-grain toast, rather than as a large standalone serving.
