FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does peanut butter last after opening?
Commercial peanut butter lasts 6-9 months in the pantry or 12 months in the fridge. Natural peanut butter lasts about 1-2 months in the pantry or 6 months in the fridge.
Why does oil separate in some peanut butters?
Natural peanut butter lacks emulsifiers (like palm oil), causing the liquid peanut oil to separate and rise to the top. Simply stir it back in.
Is peanut butter vegan?
Yes, standard peanut butter is vegan as it is made from peanuts, oil, and salt. However, check labels for honey or omega-3 additives derived from fish.
What is a good substitute for peanut butter?
Almond butter or cashew butter are great nut-based alternatives. For nut-free diets, sunflower seed butter (SunButter) or soy nut butter are excellent swaps.
Can peanut butter be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze peanut butter for up to 6 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well before using as the texture may change slightly.
Is peanut butter healthy for weight loss?
In moderation, yes. Its high protein and fiber content help you feel full longer, though it is calorie-dense and should be portion-controlled.
How can I tell if peanut butter has gone bad?
Rancid peanut butter will have a sharp, bitter, or metallic smell (like paint or old cardboard) and may become hard and dark.
What is the difference between 'natural' and 'regular' peanut butter?
Regular peanut butter contains added sugar and hydrogenated oils for texture and shelf life, while natural peanut butter usually contains only peanuts and salt.
