Easy bread for the weekend~ Apply this to enjoy both taste and health

Peanut butter and fruit jam are foods commonly enjoyed with bread or crackers.

The flavor and texture vary, so people's preferences differ.

 

I looked into which option would be better from a nutritional perspective.

 

According to the Food and Drug Administration's Food and Nutritional Content Database, one tablespoon (15g) of peanut butter is approximately

▲98kcal

▲ Sugars 1.4

▲Protein 3.8g

Contains 5.8g of unsaturated fatty acids.

 

In addition, it contains a high amount of nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium.

 

 

A large spoonful of strawberry jam is about.

▲42 kcal

▲Sugars 7.85g

Contains 0.08g of protein and 0.01g of unsaturated fatty acids, with the main nutritional component being carbohydrates (10.5g).

 

A large spoonful of apple jam is about.

▲36 kcal

▲ Sugars 6.9g

Contains 0g of protein and, like strawberry jam, the main nutrient is carbohydrates (9.15g).

 

Therefore, considering the nutritional composition, peanut butter is a better choice than fruit jam.

 

Fruit jams contain more added sugars such as sugar or corn syrup than the natural sweetness, fructose, found in the fruit.

 

Peanut butter contains nutrients such as protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and minerals, making it highly nutritious.

 

Nutrient density indicates how much nutrients are contained in a food compared to its caloric content.

 

The protein and fiber in peanut butter help maintain satiety and prevent overeating.

 

When choosing peanut butter, it is best to check the nutrition label on the back and select a product with a high peanut content.

 

 

Some peanut butters contain reduced peanut content and are heavily added with salt, sugar, and other ingredients to enhance flavor.

 

 

When choosing fruit jam, it is best to select products with low sugar content and no artificial additives.

 

However, even if it is a healthier choice, excessive intake should be avoided.

 

Peanut butter is relatively high in calories, so it is appropriate to consume only about 10-15 grams, or roughly one to two spoonfuls, per day.
