FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does creamy peanut butter last after opening?
It typically lasts 2-3 months in the pantry or 6 months in the refrigerator after opening.
What is the difference between natural and commercial creamy peanut butter?
Natural peanut butter contains only peanuts and salt, requiring stirring as oil separates. Commercial creamy versions include hydrogenated oils and sugar for a stable, smooth texture.
Can I freeze peanut butter?
Yes, peanut butter can be frozen for up to 6 months, though the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
What are the best substitutes for peanut butter?
Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free diets) are the best alternatives.
Is creamy peanut butter healthy?
In moderation, it is healthy as it provides protein and good fats, but it is calorie-dense and often contains added sugar and salt.
Why does some peanut butter have oil on top?
This is natural oil separation. It occurs in brands that do not use stabilizers or emulsifiers like palm oil.
Is creamy peanut butter gluten-free?
Most pure peanut butters are naturally gluten-free, but always check the label for cross-contamination or additives.
How do I pick a high-quality peanut butter?
Look for a short ingredient list: ideally just peanuts and a small amount of salt, avoiding added sugars and hydrogenated oils.
