About Nutter butter

Nutter Butter is a popular peanut butter sandwich cookie created by Nabisco in 1969. This American snack features two peanut-shaped cookies with a creamy peanut butter filling. With its peanut-based ingredients, Nutter Butter is rich in fats and provides a decent amount of protein, primarily from peanuts. A standard 34g serving contains approximately 180 calories, 8g of fat, 24g of carbohydrates, and 2g of protein. While it offers energy-dense macronutrients, it is also high in added sugars and contains minimal micronutrient content. It is primarily enjoyed as a treat or dessert item within Western cuisines.

Health Benefits

• Peanuts provide a source of plant-based protein, with about 7-8g of protein per ounce in raw peanuts.
• Rich in unsaturated fats, peanuts can contribute to heart health when consumed in moderation.
• Peanuts are a source of niacin (Vitamin B3), which supports energy metabolism and nerve function; however, the processing of Nutter Butter may reduce this nutrient benefit.

Suitable for: Ovo-vegetarian

Selection and Storage

It is also made with refined ingredients that may have limited nutritional benefits. People with peanut allergies should avoid this product entirely.
