In response to your inquiry, the sugar listed in our nutrition facts is not added, it is naturally occurring in the peanuts.
Exhibit B - Response from Old Home Peanut Butter:
To answer your question about the sugar content of peanuts, you are correct - there are natural sugars present in peanuts. The sugar content varies depending on where the peanuts are grown and the specific variety of peanuts. The standard serving size is only 2 tablespoons and the sugar content is very low, so it is rounded to “0”on the label.
So, there you have it! Keep reading the nutrition facts labels and remember, even though a nutrition facts label states "0" grams of sugar, if you consume more than the serving size, you are likely to be consuming more sugar.
Happy healthy shopping!
