    Grab a can of chickpeas (garbanzos). Put em in s blender. Add some olive oil, diced onions & garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice & tahini (if you’ve got it). Blend. Garnish with diced pine nuts, paprika & oil if you like. That’s a simple DIY hummus.

    Anyway, peanut butter is just peanuts pureed. Hummus is Mediterranean bean dip, as others have said.

      Well, peanut butter is often with added sugar and whatnot. If you got the stuff that’s just pureed peanuts, that isn’t really something you’d spread on your bread. Instead, you can use it for cooking, e.g. mix it into sauces to make the sauce more creamy and hearty.

        You can absolutely spread natural peanut butter on bread (ie ingredients: peanuts). Are you thinking of powdered peanut butter? Because that you would need to rehydrate to use as a spread.

          I don’t know, I haven’t heard of people doing that and I feel like I’d need to throw some salad or tomato on top to make it worthwhile.

          But I might also misjudge it, because we don’t call the 100% peanut stuff “peanut butter” in my country and well, because I haven’t really tried it.

          To be honest, though, the main point of my comment was that it’s great for cooking. I really don’t feel like you’d want to mix the sugary stuff into even a fraction of the sauces that I put the 100% peanut stuff in.

            I’d been off peanut butter for years. Restarted because of a dog. I don’t buy any with sugar (Adam’s is just peanuts), as it’s bad for me, bad for the dog.

            Sugar additives are a plague that spans most US foods.
