Peanut butter is a food paste made primarily from ground dry roasted peanuts. Some varieties contain added salt, seed oils,emulsifiers and sugar,etc whereas "natural" types of peanut butter consist solely of ground peanuts.
Peanut butter is included as an ingredient in many recipes, especially cookies and candies. Its flavor combines well with other flavors, such as chocolate, oatmeal, cheese, cured meats, savory sauces, and various types of breads and crackers and even fruits.
In Eastern Nigeria,it is called Ose Oji or Okwu Ose made with a combination of calabash nutmeg, ashanti and dry pepper which makes it really hot and spicy.
