Peanut flour is a dry powder formed after the partial extraction of oil from the roasted peanut seed. It is used to add flavor and protein to processed baked goods, nutrition bars and snacks, as well as to marinades, sauces and dressings. Worldwide, peanut flours have been limited to use by industrial food processors as a major food ingredient. While peanuts are about 25% protein, peanut flour is about 50% protein. That's because the process of mechanically removing fatty oil from roasted peanuts enriches the levels of the remaining peanut components. The resulting flour is naturally low in fat, high in protein and relatively low in carbohydrates.

Protein Plus roasted peanut flour provides a healthful, lower-fat, and gluten free boost to a variety of foods. It is a great thickener for soups, a flavorful and aromatic ingredient for breads and pastries, as well as a creative coating for meats, fish, and other dishes. Peanut flour is a good source of Vitamin E, Folate, Fiber, Niacin, Magnesium, and Phosphorus.

Substitute at least 30% of your plain or self-rising wheat flour for peanut flour in any of your favorite recipes. Peanut flour is not self-rising and will need a rising agent added if called for in your recipe. When baking with peanut flour, you may want to add an extra egg or other moistening agent to prevent dryness.

July 20, 2010 Reviewer: Daniel in Illinois Great! MUCH less expensive alternative to PB2 and healthier. Add some salt, sweetener and water and you have PB2 with no added sugar. Also, great in recipes and protein shakes. Price .2165cents per 2tablespoon serving. Price PB2 .266 cents per 2 tablespoon serving. EASY CHOICE. Also, it has MORE protein, LESS carbs, and MORE HEALTHY Fats per serving. 8 vs 5 grams protein. 4 vs 5 grams carbs. 2 vs 1.5 healthy fats. This product RULES!!

January 21, 2012 Reviewer: Heather in Tennessee I LOVED the Trader Joe's peanut flour, but once it was discontinued, I was forced to find a replacement. I've tried several brands and the Protein Plus peanut flour is the only one that even compares...actually, I think it tastes the exact same. I love that there is no sugar or salt added, which makes it even more versatile in cooking and mixing up as sauce. I would definitely recommend this product!

February 20, 2013 Reviewer: Alexis in Georgia I finally tried this stuff after seeing many bloggers rave about a version that is no longer made. This is so great for making your own low fat peanut butter or peanut butter sauce or flavoring smoothies! And you can use any sweetener you want! PERFECT! I ordered the 1 lb bag first in case I didn't like it, but now order the 2 lb bag to have in stock in my pantry! Was this review helpful to you?

This is very similar to powdered peanut butter, but a just the right size for my use. Was this review helpful to you?
