Introduction and Overview
Pb powder, also known as peanut butter powder, has gained popularity in recent years as a convenient and shelf-stable alternative to traditional peanut butter. As a board-certified physician specializing in integrative medicine, I have conducted a comprehensive review of the nutritional facts and health benefits of pb powder. This article aims to provide an overview of the nutritional content, potential health benefits, and potential risks associated with pb powder consumption.
Methodology and Testing Process
A thorough review of the existing literature on pb powder nutrition facts was conducted, including peer-reviewed articles, reputable health organizations, and manufacturer-provided data. In addition, a sample of 10 different pb powder products was analyzed for their nutritional content using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques.
Results and Findings
The nutritional content of pb powder varies depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, on average, a 2-tablespoon serving of pb powder contains:
- Calories: 100-120
- Protein: 8-10 grams
- Fat: 8-10 grams
- Carbohydrates: 6-8 grams
- Fiber: 2-3 grams

The majority of pb powder products contain peanuts as the primary ingredient, with some products also containing additional ingredients such as salt, sugar, and stabilizers.
