Did you know that peanut butter is a good source of protein.
Protein is necessary for growth and maintenance of body structures.
Bones, muscles, skins, and other solid parts of the body are made up largely of proteins. They provide energy and make up about 12 to 15 percent of the diet's calories. Animal proteins are found in cheese, eggs, fish, meats and milk. We eat about 3 pounds of peanut butter per person each year. Astronaut Allen B. Sheppard took a peanut to the moon.
