Fun facts about peanut butter
1. Americans consume 700 million pounds of peanut butter annually, about three pounds per person! 2. Peanuts are technically legumes (like beans), not nuts. 3. One acre of peanuts will make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches. 4. Peanuts are a new world food, probably originating in Brazil and working their way up to Mexico. The Aztecs mashed them into a paste as early as 500 years ago. 5. 75% of homes in the US have a peanut butter jar. 6. 60% of the peanuts in the US are grown in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Half are used for peanut butter. 7. Peanuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, which help reduce the risk of heart disease. 8. Peanut butter is a good source of protein. Just 2 tablespoon’s worth provide more than 10% of the daily recommended value. Those same 2 Tablepoons also provide 200 calories. 9. Peanut butter is also a good source of vitamins B3 and E, magnesium, folate, and dietary fiber. 10. Animals like it too. Peanut butter is considered an effective bait for mouse traps.
