KRAFT Peanut Butter

If you want a food that's packed full of nutrients, you can't beat peanuts and Peanut Butter. They're packed with energy, protein and all kinds of vitamins and minerals. And they taste terrific, too!

Peanuts Are Full Of Goodness

Healthy eating isn’t just-fat-free eating. Peanuts are packed with essential vitamins and minerals. They are rich in protein, which your body uses as building blocks and high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils, also known as "the good oils". About 2% of the population are allergic to peanuts. If you have any concerns, it's important to get in touch with your doctor.

KRAFT Peanut Butter Goes The Distance

One of the best ways to measure the energy in foods is to look at their Glycemic index.

High GI foods like rice and potatoes, raise blood glucose levels quickly but this level drops quickly too, leaving you feeling tired and hungry. Low GI foods raise blood glucose levels slowly then release their energy gradually.

Peanuts are among the foods having the lowest GI. And because peanuts are high in protein, carbohydrates and good oil, they’re a high-energy food.

For Growing Health Nuts

Many kids don’t eat enough of the protein, vitamins and minerals they need during their growing years.

Peanuts are a powerhouse of protein so it’s great food. A single peanut butter sandwich provides almost half of the Recommended Daily Allowance of protein for kids aged 4-7 and a quarter of the RDA for 8 to 11 year olds.

Feel Full Faster And For Longer

Did you know that Peanut Butter has been shown to satisfy hunger up to five times longer than some high carbohydrate snacks like rice cakes? Studies have shown the high protein and fibre content of peanuts tends to curb hunger and keep you from overeating.*
