The Spread We Go Nuts For
令人為之瘋狂的花生醬
－Marie McMaster
1/30
Peanut butter is so yummy that it must be bad for you, right? Wrong! This creamy and much-loved sandwich spread is actually one of those rare foods that tastes great and is good for you, too.
It has tons of fiber, protein, and a good type of fat, which all make you feel full, so you’ll end up eating less. It also contains several minerals and vitamins E and B6. Studies show that peanut butter can protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes. It’s high in calories, though, so don’t eat too much of it. Also, take care when choosing a brand because not all of them are created equal. The healthiest are those with the fewest ingredients and without added sugar and oils. 
Peanut butter is easy to add to your diet. You can have it on bread, crackers, or bananas. It’s also a great addition to sauces, smoothies, and countless desserts. If you happen to be allergic to peanuts, don’t worry about missing out on the health benefits. Though they are actually legumes, peanuts have a similar nutritional content to nuts, so if you can eat tree nuts, feel free to substitute other nut butters in your recipes.
花生醬太好吃了，所以對你一定不好，是吧？錯了！這個口感滑順又備受喜愛的三明治抹醬其實是少數嚐起來美味，同時也對你有益處的食物之一。
它有大量的纖維質、蛋白質和好的脂肪，這些都會讓你有飽足感，所以最後你會少吃一些。它也含有數種礦物質與維他命E和B6。研究顯示花生醬可預防心臟疾病及第二型糖尿病。不過它的熱量很高，所以別吃太多。此外，要慎選品牌，因為不是所有的品牌製造出來的花生醬都一樣。最健康的是那些成分最少而且沒有添加糖和油的品牌。
花生醬可以很容易就加入你的飲食中。你可以把它塗在麵包、餅乾或香蕉上。它也適合加在醬料、果昔和無數甜點上。假如你剛好對花生過敏，別擔心會錯失它對健康的益處。雖然它們實際上是豆科植物，但和堅果有相似的營養成分，所以如果你可以吃樹堅果，就可以在食譜中用其他堅果醬來取代。

There’s a lot more to peanut butter than meets the eye. Besides tasting heavenly, it has many surprising uses. Keep a jar of it around your house to use not only as a supplement to your diet but also as a tool to make your life easier and more pleasant.
Massage a little peanut butter into your hair to give it added moisture and a beautiful shine. After a good shampoo your locks will glow. It’s also really good at unsticking sticky things. Rub it on chewing gum that’s been lodged somewhere. The oils will soften the gum, and after several minutes you’ll be able to clean it off easily. This works on glue and stickers that you want to remove, too. Lastly, peanut butter is great at hiding smells. If you cooked fish for dinner and stunk up your house, simply fry a spoonful up for a couple of minutes. The bad smells will vanish.
Though some of these uses may seem strange at first, you’ll soon come to appreciate how effective they are. As a sandwich spread or hair treatment, peanut butter is the spread we go nuts for.
花生醬的用途不容小覷。除了嚐起來美味無比，它還有許多驚人的用途。在家裡放一罐花生醬，不只可以作為飲食補充品，還可以用它來讓你的生活更輕鬆愉悅。
用少量的花生醬按摩你的頭髮會增加滋潤及美麗的光澤。把頭髮洗乾淨後，你的頭髮會閃閃發亮。它也能讓黏黏的東西失去黏性。把它塗在卡在某處的口香糖上，油脂會軟化口香糖，幾分鐘後你就能輕鬆地將它清除。這也適用在你想移除的膠水和貼紙。最後，花生醬也很能掩蓋味道。假如你晚餐煮魚而讓屋裡臭氣沖天，只要放一匙花生醬炒個幾分鐘，臭味就會消失。
雖然有些用途乍看好像很奇怪，但你很快就會理解它們是多麼有效。無論作為三明治抹醬或用來護髮，花生醬都是讓我們為之瘋狂的抹醬。
