Today is a sticky day. National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day salutes the number one sandwich spread. What kid didn’t grow up loving a PB&J sandwich?
Smooth Peanut Butter is by far the most popular. Crunchy peanut butter is also on the market, and is enjoyed by many. Peanut Butter is not limited to a Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB&J) sandwich. It’s popular on crackers, celery and other “peanut butter” holders. It is also used in recipes for cookies and snacks. And, don’t forget peanut butter cups, too!
Did you Know? Peanut Butter is 90% or more peanuts. While it has no artificial preservatives, an opened jar is stored on a shelf at room temperature.
Celebrate today with a little (or a lot) of Peanut Butter. If you can, make your own Peanut Butter. It’s a fun project that the kids will enjoy doing with you.
Note: If you don’t get enough peanut butter today, April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. and September 13th is National Peanut Day.
