1. It takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.

2. By law, any product labeled “peanut butter” in the United States must be at least 90 percent peanuts. Below 90% and it should be labeled “peanut spread”.

3. The average American consumes more than six pounds of peanuts and peanut butter products each year.

4. Over 60% of consumers prefer creamy peanut butter over crunchy.

5. The peanut is not a nut, but a legume related to beans and lentils.
