A peanut spread comprises an essentially homogeneous dispersion of finely divided peanut meat in a continuous oil phase, and has an oil content of from about 20 to 35% by total weight, and an oil-to-peanut protein ratio of from about 1:2 to 4:3 by weight. The spread is produced by low- medium shear agitation of ground roasted peanuts and roasted defatted peanut meat. The spread simulates the organoleptic and textural characteristics of peanut butter, while exhibiting a significant reduction from conventional oil and caloric contents. Other additives may be present, including non-peanut protein sources and vegetable oils, and fibre. |
