Jordnötssmör

Jordnötssmör is the Swedish word for peanut butter. It is a food paste or spread made primarily from dry-roasted ground peanuts. It can also contain additional ingredients such as salt, sugar, and oil. The consistency of peanut butter can vary from smooth and creamy to chunky and firm, depending on the processing method and the presence of added ingredients.

Peanut butter is a popular food item in many countries, and in Sweden, it is enjoyed in a similar manner. It is commonly used as a spread on toast or bread, often paired with jelly or jam, a combination known as "peanut butter and jelly" or "PB&J" in English-speaking contexts. It is also used as an ingredient in various culinary applications, including sauces, smoothies, desserts, and baked goods.

Nutritionally, peanut butter is a good source of protein, healthy fats, and dietary fiber. It also contains various vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, niacin, magnesium, and phosphorus. However, it is also calorie-dense, and moderation is often advised. The production of peanut butter typically involves grinding roasted peanuts until they reach the desired consistency. Some varieties may include added oils to prevent separation of the peanut oil or to achieve a smoother texture. Jordnötssmör, like its international counterparts, is widely available in Swedish supermarkets in different brands and varieties.
