National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day

March 1st is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. Whether you prefer it smooth and creamy, natural or extra chunky, chances are you probably have a jar or two in your kitchen pantry. After all, it’s not just great on sandwiches, it can be paired with crackers, pretzels, celery, carrots, apples, bananas, a number amazing desserts, even bacon!

Every year, Americans spend $800 million dollars on Peanut butter. It’s an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, and can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanut butter is 90% or more peanuts. It takes approximately 540 peanuts to make a 12 ounce jar of peanut butter.

No matter how you spread it or dip it, use the hashtag #NationalPeanutButterLoversDay to enjoy and post your favorite way to eat it on social media.
