Questions about Smooth reduced fat peanut butter
What does “reduced fat” mean in smooth peanut butter?
It means some of the peanut fat has been removed or replaced, often with extra carbohydrate or other ingredients, so it is not necessarily lower in energy than ordinary peanut butter. This version has 34 g of fat per 100 g.
How much smooth reduced fat peanut butter is a typical serving?
A tablespoon is about 36 g. Spread it on toast, or stir a spoonful into porridge or a sauce rather than eating it straight from the jar.
How do you stop smooth reduced fat peanut butter making a satay sauce lumpy?
Whisk it first with a little warm water until it loosens, then add soy sauce, lime juice and a touch of chilli. Stir in more warm water a spoonful at a time until it coats noodles or vegetables.
Can you use smooth reduced fat peanut butter in baking?
Yes, but it may make biscuits and cakes less rich and more prone to drying than full-fat peanut butter. Use a recipe written for reduced-fat spread, or add a little extra moisture rather than swapping it one-for-one in a baking recipe.
How should you store smooth reduced fat peanut butter after opening?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard unless the jar says it needs refrigerating. Use a clean, dry knife and stir it if the texture separates.
What can you use instead of smooth reduced fat peanut butter?
For a similar smooth texture, try ordinary smooth peanut butter, though it is richer; peanut flour mixed with water can work in sauces but is much drier. For a nut-free option, use smooth sunflower-seed spread, bearing in mind its flavour is different.
Is smooth reduced fat peanut butter safe for someone with a peanut allergy?
No: it is made from peanuts and can trigger a severe allergic reaction. Avoid it if you have a peanut allergy, and prevent cross-contact with utensils and other foods.
Is smooth reduced fat peanut butter suitable for babies and young children?
It is sticky and thick, so do not offer a spoonful on its own to a young child. If peanuts are suitable, spread a thin layer on toast or loosen a small amount into porridge; supervise eating and avoid whole peanuts, which can cause choking.
