Peanut butter Soncone is 100% of peanuts, without the content of oils, salt or sugar. It is a perfect addition to different kinds of desserts. Due to the content of crushed peanuts, it has characteristic crunchiness.

A source of well-assimilable protein
Peanuts are appreciated by athletes due to a high content of protein. Peanut butter is a great way to supply protein. Protein found in peanuts is characterised by good aminogram and high bioavailability. It is digested quite easily in the body, better than some milk proteins (e.g. casein). 100 g of the product contains more than 26 g of proteins – this is much more than in most meats.

The content of EFA
Peanuts show many health-promoting properties. Most of them result from the content of fat. They contain mainly mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are generally neglected in our diet, but are connected with numerous health benefits. Unsaturated fatty acids play a key role in the regulation of lipid profile, showing the ability to reduce cholesterol levels and improve HDL–LDL ratio. They are identified as one of the most effective and easily available ways of preventing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids is recommended for lowering blood pressure.

A high content of dietary fibre
Peanut butter is also an amazing source of dietary fibre which helps maintain an efficient digestive system. It promotes intestinal peristalsis, hereby stimulating the digestion of food and synthesis of digestive enzymes. It shows also the ability to control blood sugar by lowering its levels. What is more, a high-fibre diet is believed to lower cholesterol levels.

The support for body energetics
Peanuts are also a source of well-absorbed B vitamins, characterised by a beneficial effect on function of the brain and digestive system. They are rich especially in vitamin B3 (niacin) – in average 12 mg per 100 mg of the product which is 100 % of daily requirements. The main role of this vitamin in the body is the synthesis of NAD and NADP, which are carriers of electrons in the respiratory chain. As a result, niacin determines healthy energy functions of the body. It stimulates cognitive functions and functioning of the nervous system, is necessary for secretion of sex hormones, regulates erythropoiesis (blood red cell maturation and proliferation). Moreover, it is said to be an effective agent controlling cholesterol levels. In larger doses, it is used in hypercholesterolemia.

A natural source of potassium
Peanuts are also rich in minerals in highly absorbable forms. Potassium stands out here, which accounts for 700 mg/100g in peanuts. This element is essential for the function of ATPase responsible for the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate which is the main way of energy production by the body. Potassium is thus necessary for maintaining healthy body energetics. Furthermore, it has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, stabilises the rate and strength of cardiac muscle contractions. In cellular respiration, it aids in the transport of carbon dioxide and thus facilitates their binding with erythrocytes.

To sum up, peanuts have numerous health-promoting properties. Due to minimal processing of peanuts in Peanut butter Soncone, all these features have been preserved. As a result, the product is a tasty addition in the kitchen, which does not only supply protein, but also provides substances with a positive impact on the health and functioning of the whole body.
