Peanut Butter Vs. Raw Peanuts
Overview Peanut butter is a relatively unprocessed food. It's basically just peanuts, often roasted, that are ground until they turn into a paste. However, this doesn't apply to many commercial brands of peanut butter that contain various added ingredients, such as sugar, vegetable oils and even trans fat. So lets have a look at the comparision of peanut butter vs peanuts.
Carbohydrate content When it comes crabs, consuming a small amount of serving is good for diabetes patients since that will not cause your blood glucose levels to rise. Foods that contain 5 grams of total carbohydrate or less per serving are considered a free carbohydrate on a diabetes diet. When it comes to raw peanuts, one serving of raw peanuts contains 1.76 grams of total carbohydrate. Whereas one serving of plain peanut butter, without added sugar, contains 3.18 grams of total carbohydrate. So, peanut butter is higher in carbohydrates than raw peanuts.
Fat content A 1/2 serving of raw peanuts contains 3.46 grams of monounsaturated fat and 2.2 grams of polyunsaturated fat; 1tbsp of peanut butter contains 3.79 grams of monounsaturated fat and 2.21 grams of polyunsaturated fat.
