Peanuts are the #1 nut in the world. A universal fondness for peanut butter has made it a staple in 94% of American households. But peanut butter isn’t just for bagged lunches. Packed with essential nutrients, this versatile spread offers many benefits to your health.

 

For one, peanut butter is full of protein. One of the first patents for peanut butter was to be able to provide it as a protein substitute to patients who couldn’t chew solid food. During both World Wars, American soldiers depended on peanut butter sandwiches in order to get the protein they needed.

 

The beloved spread also has tons of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, which fortifies your muscles and bones, and potassium, which lowers your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Peanut butter can also:

  • Boost your immunity
  • Protect against memory impairment
  • Lower type 2 diabetes
  • Provide you with a boost of energy
  • Prevent gallstones
  • Keep you feeling full for a long time
