Few foods have had a more dramatic makeover than peanut butter. Once simply the humble key component of the PB&J, the white bread sandwich loved by US school kids, last year saw protein- and good-fats-rich peanut butter firmly established as the fitness food du jour (so long as it’s free from additives and made with sustainable palm oil). Now sales of all kinds of nut butters are soaring. Chefs and bakers are using them, too – think almond butter coleslaw to macadamia nut brownies.
