The pop culture synonym for breakfast is undoubtedly peanut butter, generously spread on slices of bread or pancakes in American movies. For many years, this "American dream" has been taking increasingly deeper roots in Poland – what do we need to know about it? Let's see.
Why is peanut butter healthy?
There's no accounting for taste! Opinions vary, but it's hard to find someone who wouldn't love the taste of a good nut spread. But will the rest of your body be as happy as your taste buds? Fortunately, yes! It's worth eating natural peanut butter, as it's healthy and rich in vitamins and other nutrients. However, it's important to remember that only the best products made from nuts and those free from unnecessary additives (such as salt, preservatives, artificial colors) will offer their full benefits. It's also important to remember that there are different types of "peanut butters" —you'll discover this by checking out the spreads and peanut butters in our offer!
What types of peanut butter are there?
Peanut butter can be made from almost any type of nut. However, some have become much more popular than others. These include:
Hazelnut paste - 
‒ contains a lot of magnesium and vitamin E and is perfect for your daily diet.
Cashew nut paste - ‒ A rich source of magnesium and potassium, among other minerals. This paste also has a low glycemic index.
Coconut paste - – a wealth of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it can be used in many other ways, as you can read about here .
Peanut paste - ‒ A source of vitamin E and Omega-9 fatty acids. Perfect for sports and vegan diets.
Tahini is also a similar product to nut pastes - or sesame butter. This traditional element of the Middle and Far Eastern diet is a treasure trove of calcium, magnesium, and vitamins B-1, B-2, B-5, and B-6.
However, it's worth remembering to choose only natural nut spreads —those without unnecessary added sugar, salt, or oil. Unfortunately, popular products of this type available in our stores—including those intended for children!—have little in common with real peanut butter.

How to make peanut butter at home?
An alternative to store-bought nut spreads is, of course, home-made. Contrary to appearances, it won't require much time or expense, and the recipe for peanut butter is quite simple. In practice, all you need is the product itself—the nuts—and a decent blender or other mixing device (regular blenders often prove ineffective at blending nuts).
When choosing nuts, it's best to choose those in their shells and then shell them at home. Once prepared, simply add them and blend until you achieve the desired consistency – some prefer the taste of nut pieces, others prefer a 100% smooth paste. It's worth noting that some people roast the nuts before blending. If you prefer this option, you can, of course, use it, although it should be acknowledged that it negatively impacts the nut butter's nutritional value.

When is the best time to eat peanut butter?
Good nut spreads are a healthy and filling part of your diet. There are countless ways to use them – you can eat them straight from the jar, as a breakfast spread for bread and pancakes, or as an addition to granola. Other options include using peanut butter as an addition to sweet cakes or creams, or even savory poultry dishes.
If you enjoy peanut butter, it's also worth remembering that it's a great addition to a sports or weight-loss diet! The nutrients contained in nuts boost energy and support muscle recovery, while the numerous unsaturated fatty acids enrich your diet. Of course, you shouldn't overdo it, as eating several slices of bread with a thick layer of spread three times a day won't be as beneficial, as you need to watch your calories. Therefore, it's also worth considering other healthy products – you'll find them in our online organic food store .
Natural peanut butters are an excellent addition to a varied diet. Many people wonder if peanut butter is worth eating? Absolutely! It's suitable for virtually everyone. It's a rich source of many nutrients, a delicious treat, and an addition to a wide variety of dishes, so it's worth eating! Enjoy!
