Peanuts are a versatile and widely consumed nut in the United States. In 2019, around 5.5 billion pounds of peanuts were produced in the United States, down from 7.12 billion pounds of peanuts in 2017. Much of these peanuts were processed into peanut butter.
It is estimated that around 297 million Americans eat peanut butter, while about 32 million do not. It is extremely popular in sandwiches, as a baking ingredient, or on its own. There are many different varieties of peanut butter available in the market but the two most common types are creamy and crunchy. Creamy peanut butter is the most popular among U.S. consumers, by a wide margin. Another popular type of peanut butter is old fashioned/natural peanut butter which is produced without any preservatives or ingredients to keep the peanuts and the oil from separating in the jar.
